Synopsis

Eve Duncan became a forensic sculptor after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie, whose remains were discovered ... yet unrecognizable. Driven by a need to liberate innocence from the shroud of death, she obsesses over recreating the likenesses of faceless, decomposed murder victims, using only their bare skulls as a guide. Fleeing to Baton Rouge to take on the project of identifying a skeleton, Eve is forced to work in secrecy, given only the sketchiest of information, and she can't help but wonder if the high-level security that surrounds her is meant to protect her ... or imprison her.

About Iris Johansen

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, American author Iris Johansen went through the usual life duties of being wife and mother, until her children left home to attend college. In 1980, she began experiencing success with her writing of category romances. Next, Johansen started writing romance novels that had a historical and a suspense theme intertwined. One such novel was her successful, The Wind Dancer, published in 1991. Then, in 1996, she changed again, this time to crime fiction. To date, that has been her most successful genre. She has had seventeen consecutive New York Times bestsellers through 2006.

Johansen lives near Atlanta, Georgia, and has two children. Son, Roy Johnson, is an award winning screenwriter and novelist in his own right. Daughter, Tamara, serves as her mother's research assistant.

I thought the finding of Bonnie's body in the previous book was a bit too easy and not central enough for the story. I mean in the last book Eve and Quinn had small roles while Sarah Patrick and John Logan was the main characters. And we only get to know that Bonnie's body had been found when Sarah......more

Goodreads review by Lain on December 01, 2007

Starting a series in the middle is always tough, but I'm a firm believer that readers should be able to enter the path at any point and feel welcomed. Johansen does a good job of giving enough of the backstory on her characters (forensic scluptor Eve Duncan, her adopted daughter Jane, and her live-i......more

Goodreads review by Carol on March 09, 2014

Someone, anyone... Please!... lock main character Eve, (forensic sculpture expert,) away in a secluded place, well-supplied with skulls and self-pity pills. OCD, much ?!? Her abrasive personality rivals the most wicked case of gallstones; her stubborn, petulant child mentality endangers anyone fooli......more

Goodreads review by Amy on July 08, 2012

I have been really trying to get into this series, but I don't think its going to happen. I don't understand what it is with this author an her female characters.
