Publisher Description

From Iris Johansen, the nationally acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of And Then You Die and The Ugly Duckling, comes her most electrifying novel yet. Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan has a rare--and bittersweet--gift. Her unique ability to reconstruct the identity of the long dead from their skulls has helped bring closure to parents of missing children. For Eve, whose own daughter was murdered and her body never found, the job is a way of coming to terms with her personal nightmare. When she is approached by billionaire magnate John Logan to reconstruct the face of an adult murder victim, only his promise of a sizable charitable contribution persuades her to accept. It's a simple bargain, yet it's the most dangerous one she'll ever make. The warning signs are clear. There is the specially equipped lab Eve is taken to in a country inn turned high-tech security fortress in rural Virginia. Surveillance cameras monitor her every move. The telephones are tapped. And then there is Logan himself--by turns ruthless, charming, and desperate. But it's too late for Eve to walk out. The skull has begun to reveal its shocking identity, trapping her in a frightening web of murder and deceit. To free herself, she has no choice but to expose that identity and to trust Logan, the man who put her life in danger, a man who may see her as an expendable pawn.

"This is one of Iris Johanson's best books. You are introduced to Eve Duncan and you immediately get wrapped up in her story. You have to admire Eve's strength,but you are moved by her vulnerability and once you get caught up in the story, you can't put it down. Well worth a late night of reading."

    " Interesting but sort of "out there" in terms of plausibilty. Will try the next one in the series but I'm hoping that they're not all just action-suspense type stories. This book reminded me of the Kay Scarpetta books once she left the coroner's office and the plots just started seeming all the same: violence, action, and plots that served that violence and action but weren't all that different from each other, and weren't very believable.

    " A good story but hardly fully developed. Seemed more like an introduction of characters. I almost gave up in the middle when the JFK plot was mentioned bur luckily that was just a plot device. An okay read, not bad, not great. Too much intrigue, and adventure. Not enough forensic, crime. "
