Description

The suspense begins with a phone call and leads forensic sculptor Eve Duncan onto the harrowing trail of a killer that even the most cold-blooded killers fear to face.
No one leaves this game alive
Her skill in identifying murder victims was worldrenowned, but Eve Duncan worked only for law enforcement and the families of innocent victims. The man on the other end of the phone was anything but law-abiding or innocent. She’d already turned down his offer twice, but the third time it comes with a grisly warning. Forced to accept, Eve will leave everything and everyone she loves to travel alone to the luxurious armed compound of one of the world’s most wanted criminals to identify a skull he’s recovered. She’s agreed to this devil’s bargain to save an innocent family, but also for a reason she can’t admit to the police, to the CIA, to anyone. For the man in the Colombian jungle promises Eve what she wants most of all—the key to solving the most painful mystery of her past.

        October 9, 2006
        In the latest Eve Duncan forensics thriller from bestseller Johansen (Killer Dreams
        ), the Atlanta-based forensic sculptor with an international reputation finds herself attracted, not always convincingly, to a sleazy manipulator. Duncan, who specializes in reconstructing facial features from skulls, has buried herself in her work since the disappearance and presumed death of her seven-year-old daughter, Bonnie, years earlier. That still-open wound is probed with sadistic skill by Luis Montalvo, a shady Colombian arms dealer, who offers to solve the mystery of what happened to Bonnie if Duncan agrees to attempt a reconstruction from a skull Montalvo believes was his late wife's. Despite the misgivings of her former husband, an FBI agent, Duncan accepts, and soon finds herself dodging bullets in a war between Montalvo and a drug lord rival in the Colombian jungle. Despite a shortage of the sort of meaty science that, say, a Kathy Reichs thriller typically provides, Johansen's faithful audience should be satisfied.

        December 1, 2006
        In the latest installment (after "Countdown") of Johansen's engrossing suspense series starring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, Eve agrees to travel from Atlanta to Colombia to reconstruct the skull of weapons dealer Luis Montalvo's deceased wife. In exchange, Montalvo will release a man he is holding hostage and help Eve discover what became of her daughter, Bonnie, who was kidnapped years ago. Eve's visit to Colombia is fraught with danger and mystery as she finds herself in the middle of a deadly conflict between Montalvo and drug lord Diaz, who murdered Montalvo's wife, Nalia. As she begins reconstructing Nalia's skull, Eve finds herself unwittingly attracted to Montalvo, even as her lover, Detective Joe Quinn, comes to Colombia to take Eve back to safety in Atlanta. Johansen's latest is a first-rate suspense thriller complete with expertly developed characters involved in a world of intrigue where nothing is quite as it seems. Recommended for all public libraries. [See Prepub Alert, "LJ" 9/1/06.]Sheri Melnick, Harrisburg, PA

        October 15, 2006
        Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is a complicated woman. She has survived her years in the school of hard knocks, although not without scars. And she has suffered the worst event a parent can, losing a child to abduction. Now she helps other stricken parents by reconstructing skulls so that victims can be identified. In this, she is one of the best. In addition to her work, she has Joe, a wonderfully understanding man with many military and government connections. But all this abruptly changes when Eve gets a phone call from Montalvo, a drug lord in South America in need of her services. Eve initially refuses to make the journey, but after he promises to use all his resources to find her daughter's killer and her body, this scarily single-minded and stubborn woman agrees to go, despite knowing that she will most likely be killed. Eve is then simultaneously repelled by and attracted to Montalvo. Johansen strikes again, creating both a nonstop thriller and a character study about an individual who has long seen the world in black and white, and now perceives only shades of gray.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
