"Eve Duncan's job is to put a face on the faceless victims
of violent crimes. Her work not only comforts their
survivors - but helps catch their killers. But there is
another, more personal reason that Eve Duncan is driven to
do the kind of work she does - a dark nightmare from a
past she can never bury. And as she works on the skull of
a newly discovered victim, that past is about to return
all over again." "The victim is a Jane Doe found murdered,
her face erased beyond recognition. But whoever killed her
wasn't just trying to hide her identity. The plan was far
more horrifying. For as the face forms under Eve's skilled
hands, she is about to get the shock of her life. The
victim is someone she knows all too well. Someone who
isn't dead. Yet." "Instantly Eve's peaceful life is
shattered. The sanctuary of the lakeside cottage she
shares with Atlanta detective Joe Quinn and their adopted
daughter Jane has been invaded by a killer who's sent the
grimmest of threats: the face of his next victim. To stop
him, Eve must put her own life in the balance and question
everything and everyone she trusts. Not even Quinn can go
where Eve must go this time." As the trail of faceless
bodies leads to a chilling revelation, Eve and Joe finds
themselves trying to catch a master murderer whose grisly
work is a testament to a mind warped by perversion and
revenge. Now they must pit their skills against his in a
showdown where the stakes are life itself - and where the
unbearable cost of failure will make Eve's own murder seem
like a mercy killing.
