Eve Duncan’s mission in life is to bring closure to the families who have experienced the agony of a missing child. As a forensic sculptor, she is able to piece together bones, create a face, and match a name to a child who would have otherwise gone unidentified. Eve is brilliant, driven, and tormented - because her own daughter, Bonnie, was taken from her years ago. Now, with the help of CIA agent Catherine Ling, a startling piece of evidence is uncovered in the quest to find Bonnie, leading to a connection that had been all but buried. Catherine challenges Eve with a name: John Gallo, a man from Eve’s own past, seemingly raised from the dead, whose whereabouts are unknown. Could Gallo be the missing piece to the puzzle that has haunted Eve for years? Why was he in Atlanta just before Bonnie’s disappearance? And what kind of darkness was he hiding? With a brilliant narrative that exposes Eve Duncan’s early life, exploring her history and motivations like no other novel before, Eve reveals long-guarded secrets and is guaranteed to keep Johansen fans holding their breath for more.

"I appreciate that the author doesn't let her characters get stagnant, as sometimes happens when multiple books have been published. Kendra Michaels is an intriguing woman, and will be an interesting addition to Eve's life. I look forward to reading more about Beth Avery in the future, as well."

" This book was really good. The more I read the more I wanted to know. I can't wait to read the next one. Also I recommend reading the books she wrote before this one first. I wasn't aware that it was a series. "
— Courtnie, 2/19/2014" Really tired of the Quinn/Bonnie/Eve story line. "
— Jean, 2/9/2014" It is a Eve Duncan book, what more do I really need to say. I felt like I learned more about Eve and Joe as a couple outside of the impact Bonnie had on them. I wasn't sure how the series was going to continue after Bonnie had been found, but this was a great way for that to happen. "
— Michelle, 2/7/2014" Good read. New characters added in this Eve book. Suspense was rather good. Moves along well. A few surprises along the way. "
— Deb, 2/6/2014" Easy to read....an enjoyable read "
— Ruth, 2/4/2014" Love me some Johansen books! I was sorta getting tired of the 'hunt for Bonnie' books and can say that this was was terrific! "
— Linda, 1/31/2014" I have read all of the Eve Duncan series. This book involved Kendra Michaels who was in Close Your Eyes. Her unique talents are put to use in this page turning book. If you like mysteries, you will enjoy this book. "
— Teena, 1/29/2014" This wasn't my favorite Iris Johansen book. It never seemed to gain momentum and I found I wasn't on the edge of my seat like I have been with her other books. "
— Lisa, 1/22/2014" Loved it. Another twist in the Eve Duncan series. "
— Deborah, 1/20/2014" I thought it was a good book. Different than the regular story line of Eve Duncan books. It even opened a new world to keep the character moving forward and create new areas for mystery. I look forward to more books including Beth Avery. "
— Robin, 1/16/2014" It was a nice change instead of her looking for "my Bonnie" "
— Madelyn, 1/7/2014" Not sure I like Beth, maybe more from her in the future? "
— Amanda, 1/3/2014" It was pretty good but I found it harder to get through than her others. "
— Rebecca, 11/25/2013" More trials and tribulations for Eve Duncan - Iris Johansen is a really riviting writer and Eve Duncan and her cast of characters remain entertaining - "
— Alma, 5/9/2013" I adore this book. It was so great to be with Eve and Joe again soling a mystery. Love the new twist with Beth. It was an amazing read. I read it straight through. Wonderful. Will read again! "
— dragonsdy, 2/24/2013" Unusually slow. Got to page 234 and needed to return it to the library. No qualms about putting it down for good. "
— Anna, 11/13/2012" I had this on my personal to-read list, but when I went to read the synopsis, I realized I have already read it. I'm not sure why it didn't make it onto any of my read lists, but I do remember reading it and liking it. I think Kendra's special skill is very interesting. "
— Sherree, 8/3/2012" Both the dialogue and sentence structure were very awkward. The Plot was thin and has been done many times before. Couldn't find a reason to really care or invest in the characters. "
— Sandra, 7/15/2012" Loved it. Can't wait for the next one! "
— Lynn, 6/10/2012" This was fantastic. Love all the characters. "
— Virginia, 3/11/2012" Talk about another twisty story... I loved it! "
— Tuere, 11/21/2011" Johansen writes books I want to read. Love the Eve Duncan characters. "
— Marylee, 11/20/2011" I've always loved Eve and Joe...then you add Kendra, Beth and Billy. Would love to read more with all these characters. After all Nelda hasn't been handled, yet! "
— Heather, 11/8/2011" Loved getting to know more of Eve's history...totally unprepared for the cliff-hanger!!! "
— Wanda, 5/20/2011" OMG! Such a good book. I can't wait for Quinn next in July. "
— Karen, 5/17/2011" Oh my gosh the best in the series so far! I can't wait for July 12th! "
— Sue-Ellen, 5/15/2011" More angst than I wanted just now ... "
— Mary, 5/15/2011" From the moment I started reading this I could not put it down. The entire book was that way for me. I liked hearing the story of how Eve had Bonnie and what drove her to be what she has become. Can't wait for the next book about Joe Quinn to come out. Great read! "
— Kristin, 5/13/2011" This series has played out in my opinion. I'm so ready to be done with Eve and all her drama. And yet, I still read them and will read the two others that will be released later this year. I probably need a new hobby. "
— Becky, 5/12/2011" My first Iris Johansen book. Really enjoyed it! Lots of action and fast-paced. "
— Lynn, 5/11/2011" I love Johansen's books because once I start to read, I can't put the book down. That is the case with Eve. The story takes us back to Eve's past and the circumstances of her daughter, Bonnie's, birth. This is the first in a trilogy and I am ready for the next one due out in July. "
— Barbara, 5/9/2011" A very much anticipated novel and it's too bad that I know it's one of the last 3 that will hopefully explain what happened to Bonnie. Learnt a lot about Eve's background, so that was fairly interesting in itself. Can't wait until the next book. "
— Lesley, 5/8/2011" The first book of the trilogy. In the beginning there is Eve. Looking forward to QUINN, then onto Bonnie. "
— Michael, 5/7/2011" 3 1/2 but I think the next two books in the trilogy wil be better because the writing became more fluid about half way through this one. "
— Diane, 5/6/2011" Good read. Ready for the series to end. How many serial killers can Eve track down? How much longer will Joe stay around? I hope the Bonnie book ends the Eve Duncan series. I've enjoyed reading the books but it has dragged on long enough. "
