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.

"Great book, first one from Johansen that I've read. Disappointed that I did not realize there were several previous books in this series that I shoudl have read first. I am looking forward to the next in the series due out in March 08"

    " When I saw Bob's review of Quinn, I knew I'd read one from the series, but had to start from the beginning to find which. The idea of skull reconstruction is dwelt on from the artistic viewpoint, rather than gruesome, but the author dwells on the heroine's angst and frustration, trying to escape in work. I preferred the action scenes, over worrying. Been too long to recall details, but I think there was a twist that the "bad guy" really had good and tragic motives. Eve is threatened to get her to decide the skull's identity, when she might have worked anyway. I retain an impression of a tense confined to a jungle compound setting and running and shooting. I may have disagreed if she was keeping secrets from good guy Joe. I know I have read other Johansen and would read more; I probably will not reread this; I do recommend if you like forensic mysteries. "

    " A huge disappointment. I've read Johansen's books in the past, but now they seem more like a flat formula than a new story. The characters are undeveloped, the villian is unneccessarily dispicable-- I don't care if he's supposed to be the villan, some things, you just don't want to know. "
