Synopsis

Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan knows what it’s like to be haunted by the past. For years after her daughter, Bonnie, was stolen from her, she fought for closure. When her mother, Sandra, asks Eve to find a missing friend named Beth Avery, she wants to help but is sure that Sandra is hiding something. The fact that she adamantly refuses to go to the police reinforces Eve’s suspicions that something is very wrong.Eve learns that Beth has been locked away in a mental hospital for years, which makes it even harder to understand how she could have disappeared. As Sandra reluctantly reveals small pieces of the truth about Beth’s identity, Eve is shocked to discover that their lives are strangely entwined, and Beth’s disappearance now puts them all in grave danger.Desperate, Eve enlists a secret weapon to pick up Beth’s trail: rogue profiler Kendra Michaels. With an uncanny ability to detect clues and solve puzzles, Kendra begins to uncover the bizarre circumstances of Beth’s escape from what should have been the safety of her hospital room. Beth is on the run, and as her mind clears—detoxing from the drugs that have held her prisoner—she begins to see the threads of a twisted plot within the powerful Avery family, threatening to destroy her and anyone else who might jeopardize the high-stakes game that is already in play.

Goodreads review by Jim on March 28, 2023

This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone novel. In fact, this would be a good starting point as the previous book ended a long story arc. In this one Eve finds out that (view spoiler)[she has a sister (hide spoiler)] and that she is in trouble. In my review of the last book in this series I mentioned how this ser......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on February 12, 2013

A few years ago, before I joined GoodReads, I read 2 or 3 of the Eve Duncan books on the recommendation of a friend--can't remember titles, as they all seemed pretty formulaic. Haven't picked one up since then. And maybe this wasn't the right one--but...very unimpressed. There are problems all through......more

Goodreads review by Sidnie on December 13, 2012

Characters are stilted and formulaic. Dialogue dull. If I had to read one more "dammit" by joe and eve, or read one more scene where one protects the other by going it alone.... It's the same thing over and over. Eve has evolved into an almost unlikeable character, and yet everyone loves her and doe......more

Goodreads review by Jodi on October 26, 2012

This book will be far more interesting if you first read Close Your Eyes which she wrote with her son Roy Johansen, but you won't really lose anything if you don't. Eve receives the extraordinary news that she has an older half sister who has recently escaped the sanitorium that she has spent the la......more
