A merciless killer on the hunt...an innocent child in his sights...a woman driven to the edge to stop him... The killer knows Eve Duncan all too well. He knows the pain she feels for her murdered daughter, Bonnie, whose body has never been found. He knows that as one of the nation's top forensic sculptors she'll insist on identifying the nine skeletons unearthed on a bluff near Georgia's Talladega Falls. He knows she won't be able to resist the temptation of believing that one of those skeletons might be her daughter's. But that is only the beginning of the killer's sadistic game. He wants Eve one on one, and he'll use his ace in the hole to make sure she complies. And he won't stop playing until he claims the prize he wants most: Eve's life.

"I'm not reading this series is any specific order so in this book Eve and Joe are not yet together. Eve's profession is as a facial reconstructionist. She is dedicated to finding her daughter who has been killed and the whereabouts of her body is not known; so she is doing reconstructions of children's skulls so that they can 'come home'. The details of finding bodies, reconstructing skulls, keeping safe and finding killers is what keeps Eve going. This story of bodies found and a serial killer caught is very good, especially when you find out who the killer is."
