From Iris Johansen, the nationally acclaimed New York Times best-selling 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.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Face of Deception to be better than the print version?
No, they are both equally good.Who was your favorite character and why?
I love Eve Duncan and of course Joe Quinn. John Logan also was my personal favorite.Which character – as performed by Jill Hennessy – was your favorite?
All the major characters. I felt she could transition from one to the other, to help sort who is talking etc...Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Made me nervous and engaged.Enthralling and entertaining.

the narrator tries to mask a strong new england accent but it comes out often. Eve is from Atlanta. she wouldn't drop her "r"s like a new englander. it is distracting.
the abridged version makes Logan sound like more of an ass than the regular version. A lot of women, like me, do not understand why someone would like a jerk, so it's hard for me to like Eve. She is supposed to be a strong woman but she allows men to walk all over her and she likes them. To me, this makes her seem weak and irritating.
abridged with terrible narration

OK, so the Eve Duncan series is really good but also slightly frustrating. It’s really good because the storyline is good, the bad guys are good, and the new characters are always good. But the frustrating part is the main character, Eve Duncan. She’s stubborn and tenacious and never backs down, which are all great qualities in a main character. But she also does stupid things like get her self in danger which causes other people get hurt. And although she has standards for other people when it comes to herself she’ll make the exact same mistakes and nobody can call her out on it. She’s pretty much a big hypocrite and everyone builds this soft nest around her, accepts it, and nobody questions it.
I find myself rolling my eyes whenever she steps on her high horse and judges people. She only ever seems to respect other women characters who pretty much are just as stubborn as her. Funny enough most other women characters I enjoy.
There’s only one other woman character I don’t like and anyone who read all the books can probably guess who, because the other woman character enables Eve’s hypocrisy as well and vice versa. But when that other character is in the books I tend to like Eve a lot more. Which is hilarious.
Books are good. Main character is frustrating.
