NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A young woman finds herself caught in a maze of secrets and stalked by a merciless killer in this breakneck Eve Duncan novel from renowned author Iris Johansen.

“Top-notch . . . a unique supernatural twist on the classic thriller.”—Booklist

“Don’t kill her. She’s no good to us dead.” These words haunt Jane MacGuire. She thought she’d escaped a random kidnapping, but she’s about to learn that the truth is far more terrifying. . . .

Now Jane is running for her life. Her adoptive parents, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn, of the Atlanta PD, can’t help. The FBI can’t help. No one can. Except a man who may be more dangerous than those pursuing her. A smuggler, a con man, Mark Trevor had his own mysterious reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe from a relentless killer and a two-thousand-year-old mystery that could rock the modern-day world.

For the past is returning with a vengeance that knows no mercy. The countdown has begun, and it’s closer to zero than anyone thinks.

I love the stories and characters in the Eve Duncan series. Good production by the reader.

Good storyline with twists and turns.

I went into this expecting an adventure but found it as much a romance novel. That disappointed me a little. A much younger woman fantasizing about a swashbuckling older man. Trembling hands. Breathlessness. All too sappy for my taste.

Iris Johansen done it again! A great book! It is very helpful if you've read the previous Eve Duncan books, especially "Blind Alley" because this is ties into the story. As a Iris Johansen fan, I absolutely love this. Bernadette Dunn is a wonderful narrator, she makes you feel like you are in the middle of the events and not at home listenting to a book....... Great Job!

Great listen

I like that this is an Eve Duncan book, but it doesn't revolve around Eve. Shows how great a writer Iris is.
Loved the reader. She was great with all the accents and voices. Really brought this one alive.
The book was solid. A few loose ends, but if I know Iris, she will revisit these characters in anther book and clear up those loose ends. Another way one can tell if the writer is good. Love the cohesiveness throughout her books when it comes to her characters, even her stand alone book characters are included in some of her series ones.
JUST A GREAT AND SOLID BOOK... FROM 1 END 2 THE OTHER...

One of her best
