Publisher Description
He strikes without warning....he kills without mercy....he's only just begun.... Iris Johansen, the New York Times bestselling author of The Killing Game and The Face of Deception, delivers a gripping new novel of breathtaking suspense and explosive adventure. It is the story of a courageous woman who is coerced into tracking down a ruthless killer--but as she hunts out her prey with stunning accuracy, she becomes the object of his wrath.... As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can--whether it's a survivor buried alive by an earthquake or the skeleton of a murdered child. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission...by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation. A man who won't take no for an answer. John Logan is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants now is Sarah's help. His top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man--and the secrets he holds--is to find him as soon as possible. Smart, tough, and uncompromising, Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, she realizes that Logan's promises that she and Monty will be safe may not be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance...and he may soon find use for Sarah. Racing against time to stop the bloodshed before more victims are claimed, both Sarah and Logan will look straight into the heart of true evil. And when the killer's search for revenge finally ends, no one will ever be the same again....

"I really like the story of this book and the way the romance evolved, but it had a bit too much profanity for me. I really hate have to read the "F" word over and over again, not to mention the other words. I wish authors knew that a book could be good without the bad language in it."

" Another great mystery/thriller from Johansen. I preferred following Sarah to Eve. Then again, Eve was never my favorite lead character. I loved how, like the previous books, the setting was never stagnant. Overall, a very good book. "

" One of my more favorites from this genre. "

" A fast read, kept me interested. "
— Melissa, 1/5/2014 -
" This book is good if you want an easy read, but is not something I would tell everyone to pick up. Borrow it from the library if you like dogs. Otherwise it is okay to skip it. "
— Sara, 12/31/2013 -
" This was my first Johansen. I thought it was great! I put myself in the book being a dog lover. Monty is the dream dog. "
— Kristina, 12/24/2013 -
" Fast read but the plot was a little weak. "
— James, 12/13/2013 -

" my first introduction to IJ. Great book. "
— Krissy, 10/19/2013 -
" Was fascinating reading about the search and rescue team of Sarah and Monty. Of course, Eve Duncan, gets involved mostly because of her connection with Sarah and Monty. Good storyline; it moves along quite nicely. Lots of action. "
— Patricia, 8/23/2013 -
" I enjoyed this book. Easy to read and fast paced. Not very thought provoking. Just a good escape book. The end was a bit of a let down since it was anti-climactic and predictable. Still I recommend it for a quick read while traveling. "
— Nancy, 6/13/2013 -
" bought brand new off the shelf "
— Sheila, 4/7/2013 -
" Started off slow, but I think its because this is the 3rd book, and I havent read the first two. It's a mystery/suspense book with a touch of romance. "
— Jenni, 1/1/2013 -
" Johansen has a way of putting the thoughts of her characters into the most descriptive prose. Furthermore personalities from her other books crop up for emphasis. Surprising outcome. "

" A different kind of Johansen I enjoyed it very much! "
— Melissa, 12/12/2011 -
" I love dogs! Rescue dogs are even better. Monty, Sarah's rescue dog is amazing. This story was pretty good for me. I enjoyed it and I understood Sarah's anger. Many times, I feel animals are more worthy than humans. Am I the only ones? I doubt it. This was a good third book to the Eve Duncan series. "
— ♆, 10/27/2011 -

— Barbara, 8/20/2011 -

" Book Club recommended t. Very Good. "
— KatMcD, 9/12/2010 -
" Not bad, a bit unbelievable with the rich man falling for someone he never really cared for until she was in trouble. I loved the dog aspect and learned a bit about searching with a dog. I hope to never be running away with a dog chasing after me, at least not one with a nose like this dog. "
