Resumen del Editor

Eve Duncan attempts to unearth one of history’s most intriguing lost secrets in this adventure ripped from the pages of Greek mythology, by number one New York Times best-selling author Iris Johansen.

Archaeologist Riley Smith has been obsessed with Helen of Troy since she was a small girl, trailing her professor father all over the world in search of the tomb of the world’s most beautiful woman. Professor Smith put his life on the line to prove that, instead of a myth, Helen had been a living, breathing queen.

Riley seeks the help of forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, who has the unusual skills necessary to recreate the face that launched a thousand ships—revealing Helen’s true appearance for the first time in history. But convincing Eve to take on the challenge will be difficult because her efforts could come at great personal risk to her and her family....

Tomb raiders have murdered Riley’s father, and now she is more determined than ever to reach the burial site first, avenge his death, and enlist Eve’s aid. Also on hand to help is dashing fixer and treasure hunter Michael Cade, but could he have his own secret agenda when it comes to finding Helen?

Now both Riley and Eve are in danger and in a race across one of the most remote parts of the world. All they have is their trust in each other and their belief in a dream as they hunt for Helen.

Purely hypothetical

This book did not disappoint. The subject was a little far fetched in that most of Eve’s other work were real people in the here and now. A little mystery a little romance and friendship which seems a usual part of these books. Enjoyed it!

Well done

As usual, not a book to disappoint. Like the exciting part, I’ll beach to tidal.

Great story

It was continuous action adventure, great new couple Riley & Cade whom I think we’ll see more of. They had tremendous chemistry, unique storyline, however, it seemed to end a little early, with unfinished business. Wonderful narration by Elisabeth Rodgers.

Eve Duncan series complete

I started on book 1 of the Eve Duncan series from book one on read them in order to 28. I think you’ll enjoy this book if you read some of the earlier ones because you read it more to stay involved with eve Duncan and her family and it’s fun meeting all her new friends, I think I would’ve enjoyed more of a final book however, maybe there is a book 29. The narrator is excellent. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed. This book had i not read previous ones from the eve Duncan series.

Griping!

This was a great read and full of interesting twists and turns. Looking forward to the sequel.

Loved The Book!

I so enjoy all of these books. This one was similar to a few others but that didn’t matter to me. Eve and Joe are always fun to adventure with and I really enjoyed Riley and Cade’s relationship and the fact that neither one made the other suffer with an agonized need for independence at the expense of a wonderful connection.

Enjoyable book

Kudos to the author and narrator for allowing me to escape into a captivating adventure and meet some new, interesting and driven people ~ albeit in my own mind.

Repetitious

It seems that Eve gets in trouble and most all her books. If it’s not her, it’s someone in her family. The narrator does an excellent job.

Great idea

Great idea good story concept terrible character. Exploration may be good for a teenager not wanting a complex story.

Great idea, poor execution

I tried for seven chapters. Apologies to Ms.
Johansen, but with more work this wouldn't read like soap opera dialogue written by a high school student.
