Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Love the Eve Duncan Stories

This is yet another great addition to the Eve Duncan life. I love how she brought you into Jane's life. I never get tired of reading about her life. Eve and Joe are of course my favorite characters, and now Jane can be added to the list, that Iris has created. I love the awesome balance that Iris can always seem to create between action and love to keep her audience on the edge of their seat. This is a great story. This is a must buy and a must read.

Great Book!

My husband and I both enjoyed this book. We look forward to reading more of her books.

Count Down

This book was almost impossible to put down. Every page was a new twist or adventure that kept me reading to see what would happen next.

Iris Johansen keeps her reputation for high quality reading.

Ms. Johansen continues with the story of Jane and weaves a very captivating story of mystery and twisted fates. I'm very impressed at her ability to keep the facts from past books straight and weave them into the current story. An excellent book, I highly recommend it.

I LOVED IT!!

This was a great book. I didn't think it was boring in the slightest. I love Jane's character, she is so strong and I think it's funny how she doesn't want to like Trevor, but she knows she does. Trevor is in another situation (of course) and Jane gets involved. They go to MacDuff's Run, it's in Scotland, where they try to find answers to their current problems. You meet a lot of new characters, some deceiving, and some true to their word. It has a great ending. A very satisfying ending. And if you're a fan of Trevor, than you'll LOVE this book. You get to see if the tension between Trevor and Jane finally give way. I thought this book was amazing, and I was very impressed with it.
