Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killer Dreams comes a terrifying new thriller that will leave you guessing–and gasping–till the final nerve-racking page. The suspense begins with a phone call and leads forensic sculptor Eve Duncan to the trail of a killer even killers fear to face. Eve Duncan has turned down the job twice already. Her skill and devotion in identifying murder victims and helping bring their killers to justice may be world-renowned. But Eve works exclusively for law enforcement and the families of the innocent, and the man on the other end of the phone is many things–none of them law-abiding or innocent. One of the world’s most wanted men, little is really known about Luis Montalvo except that he is extraordinarily dangerous and that he never takes no for an answer. Now he wants Eve’s help in the worst way. For he believes they have something in common–and he’s about to prove it with a grisly warning. Eve will leave everything and everyone behind, even the man she trusts and loves the most, to travel to the Colombian jungle to identify the skull he has recovered. She has agreed to this devil’s bargain to save an innocent family, but also for a reason she can’t admit to anyone. For the man in the jungle has promised to be able to give Eve what she wants most of all–the key to unlocking the darkest and most painful mystery of her past. But as she gets closer to identifying the skull, she finds herself caught between two ruthless killers with no way out. Now, with everything on the line, Eve Duncan must make the most chilling choice of all. And if she’s wrong…she’s dead.

" Character portrayals left me unsettled. Says more about me than the author of the book, I think. "
— Rich, 1/26/2014 -
" Eve Duncan faces off with Montalvo. This book is an excellent read for anyone who likes Johansen, Lisa Jackson, Or J.A. Vance. All of her books are just incredible. "
— Traci, 1/19/2014 -
" Read this in a night. Easy and predictable. "
— Debbra, 1/13/2014 -
" This is one of my favorite Eve Duncan books. I think it's because I don't really like Joe! "
— Nikkie, 12/29/2013 -
" I read this a few years ago and I still love it! "
— Maribel, 12/27/2013 -
" It was entertaining but it didn't have the same passion as some of her books. I still have about 4 more books to read to catch up in this series and this book didn't turn me away from that. I just hope they have that little extra something that the first books of this series possessed. "
— Mandy, 12/17/2013 -

" I like Iris Johansen but she's getting predictable. Her main character, Eve Duncan, is getting to be somewhat annoying in her relationships. But, I'm sure I'll still read more. "
— Marilyn, 3/21/2013 -
" I did not find this engaging in the least. It was very soft read with a boring plot. Sort of like a really bad soap opera. "
— Marcee, 3/9/2013 -
" I read this, but it was not as interesting as I had hoped. Tenkie said she is a good author...I may try one more to see if this was just not a good book. "
— Betty, 3/3/2013 -
" Middle of Eve Duncan series - forensic sculptor. "
— Barbara, 7/30/2012 -

— Deidra, 3/27/2012 -
" Predictable. I was very disappointed in this book. I thought the predictability was particularly lame since I have liked all of the books I have read by her in the past. "
— Danielle, 2/26/2012 -
" One of my favorite series of all times... "
— Kmeacott, 1/17/2012 -

— Stefanie, 1/6/2012 -
" This was the first book I read by this author. I wasn't too impressed. The story seemed contrived to me and written in a format, pretty predictable for me. I did like that the protagonist was a forensic sculptor and I liked learning about her way of doing that. "
— Cathie, 5/3/2011 -
" a good "auto" read in the car.... <br/> "
— Jean, 4/14/2011 -
" I haven't read this book in well over a year, but I remember it being one of my favorites! It was suspenseful, dark and very interesting. I have recommended it to a few of my friends and have gotten good feed back from them on it! "
— Elle, 4/8/2011 -
" Remind me to quit reading this series. They were pretty good in the beginning----not so much now. "
— Barbara, 3/31/2011 -
" Every time I read an Eve Duncan thriller I tend to being it frustrated. I always tell myself if she doesn't find Bonnie this time I'm not reading any more in this series. Then I read a few chapters in and I'm completely hooked. As I turn the last page I can't wait for the next book in the series! "
— Christine, 2/26/2011 -
