The President’s daughter... The women determined to save her... The man with the power to betray a nation... Melissa Riley arrives at her sister’s isolated Virginia country home to find herself plunged into a deadly drama. There the renowned Dr. Jessica Riley is attempting to draw the daughter of the President of the United States out of a severe catatonic trauma.

"I really like when there is an unexpected cross-over from another book: "Do you know I once babysat a wolf?" That was a big surprise and then helped me see how some of these books have recurring players and helped me to tie the stories together."

" As I expected, this book is the typical book of American hero. "
— Abdul, 2/18/2014 -
" This book was a good thriller, but could have been better. I liked the character interaction, especially between Cassie and Melissa in the "tunnel" and between Travis and both Melissa and Jessica Riley. I didn't like that it took the author a long time to explain what Travis was involved in and why various people were after him. "

" This book I liked it kept you on your toes and you had to just keep reading to find out what happened. "
— Ralynn, 1/31/2014 -
" Good book! Turns out there are several books that are focused around the same statue. Will need to read the others, too! "
— Debbie, 1/17/2014 -
" It was a well structured story line. She covered all points of emotion equally and smoothly. And wrote a wonderful mystery as always. "
— Toni, 1/14/2014 -
" This book was OK. Nothing fantastic. About a psychologist taking care of the President's daughter after an incident that left her in a catatonic state. The doctor has a sister that was in a similar situation, and her psychologist sister brought her out of it. Ever since then, she has had psychic dreams or connections with people that have been through the same traumatic experiences. There is an underlying "love" story with a handsome diamond thief. Overall, pretty predictable, boring at times. "

" couldn't put it down. I then found out it is part of a trilogy regarding a sculpture called the wind dancer. I must find the other two books that go with it. I read this in a day... "
— Andra, 12/28/2013 -
" i enjoyed it, but i really didn't feel the chemistry between travis and melissa. i also wasn't really surprised at the ending like many people were. "
— Pam, 12/26/2013 -
" Not as good as The Search but still a good thriller as long as you realize it is implausible. "
— Linda, 12/9/2013 -
" Botched kidnapping of President's daughter - trauma, caused child to become catatonic - hard to describe - but good. Psychiatrist has experience with children like this - Diamonds - CIA - and the Dream Weaver Statue - all parts of fight to bring the little girl out of her tunnel. "
— Pamela, 12/8/2013 -
" Very good. Fast paced, lots of twists and turns. "
— Gayle, 11/11/2013 -
" Enjoyed the pace and the development of the characters. Usually I don't follow extra-sensory type of plots, but this was done well. "

" I just started to read this book so i cant really say how much i like it and how much i like it but what i have read to far it is pretty good! Iris Johansen is a very uniqe author and yeah so u should read there books but yeah thats all that i can say for right now so yeah read it. "

" My first Iris Johansen book and I am now cursing myself for not picking up her books before. I CANNOT put this book down. It's got me hooked from from the start. I definitely recommend this to everyone. "
— Chester, 10/6/2013 -
" Didn't finish. Couldn't decide who the book's about. Became annoying. "
— Eliza, 10/4/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book!!!! Great characters - little twists and turns.... I now want to read the first of this character series!! If you haven't read this one then you really need to!!! "
— Renna, 5/6/2013 -
" I was turned off by Iris Johansen by this book. I probably will never read another book by her. "
— Becca, 11/26/2012 -
" I wonder who got paid for editing this book. While the story held some promise the writing was choppy and weak. Maybe I should have rated my last book, The Fountainhead, higher. Oh well variety is the spice of life. "
— Craig, 8/15/2012 -
" I liked the storr, and will definately read more from this author. However, this was like reading the same basic story as a previous work I read by the author, but with different circumstances. "
— Jeannie, 5/28/2012 -
" I did not care for the characters in this one. I normally really enjoy Iris Johansen's books, but this one was not one I enjoyed. I didn't think the characters were nuanced enough, which isn't normal for her. "
— Sidnie, 2/10/2012 -
" good read, tense from the outset "
— Jeff, 2/6/2012 -

— Chuck, 5/27/2010 -
" 2.5 stars. It was amusing and interesting but (as with most of johansen's books) the male was a bad boy (no, seriously, homicidally bad) and the female lead was....eh. so, yeah, 2.5 stars "
