Publisher's summary

In this pulse-pounding thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author Iris Johansen, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan journeys to Africa to help families torn apart by a violent attack deep in the jungle - but she may be in more danger than she knows.

A journalist shows up on Eve Duncan's doorstep with a plea for help. Jill Cassidy has just come from a small African village with a heart wrenching story: Half the villagers - many of them children - have been killed in a horrific attack by guerilla soldiers, the bodies burned beyond recognition. Now, the families desperately need Eve's help to get closure and begin to heal.

But when Eve arrives in the remote jungle, she begins to suspect that Jill's plea may have been a cover story for a deeper, more sinister plot. Isolated and unsure who she can trust, Eve finds herself stranded in an unstable country where violence threatens to break out again at any moment and with only her own instincts to rely on if she hopes to get home to her family alive....

Number one New York Times best-selling author Iris Johansen is back with one of her most exhilarating and dangerous adventures yet in this riveting high-stakes thriller. (Publishers Weekly)

another great read

another great story. I love the eve Duncan series and highly recommend it. look forward to the next book

A really good book

I love this series and I loved the new characters introduced in this one. It makes me feel like we might hear about them in some future books. Great great narration by Ms Rodgers as usual.

Awesome !

Loved it and was intently listening for the whole time. worth the credit I used.

Not her typical book.

This was disappointing. I expected a typical eve story. Didn’t like this one. Too much international focus.

amazing

from start to finish amazing couldn't wait to see what would happen next lived it

Royalty, Villains, and Spies, OH MY!

I loved it!! As expected, Iris Johansen's creative imagination did not disappoint as she adds another captivating story to the Eve Duncan series. She has become my favorite author and I'm obsessed with getting through the entire series. I love the way she blends edge-of-your-seat thrills with a pinch of love story and a dash of supernatural all the while telling stories of family commitment and survival. It's well written and the narrator is very good at portraying the different voices which makes it a fun listen. This book maintained my interest from start to finish. It's very good!

In this book, the author takes us to a small country in Africa where interesting new characters are introduced. Characters I expect will show up again in future books. While in Africa, Eve and her gang once again face-off with pure evil. One of my many favorite parts takes place between a slave and her mistress in a dark cave that's filled with treasure. I love how the author built this fictitious story around the history of a real life Egyptian queen. The very last chapter is the author's notes on that topic where she explains the connection (or disconnect... depending how you want to look at it).

If you love psycho killers and mystery thrillers, give this book a chance. You will not be disappointed!

Enjoyed this book

Really enjoyed this book. Kind of hooks you at the beginning and keeps you wanting more. New characters that you’d think could be carried over into later books. Guess we’ll see.
