Eve Duncan has finally come to terms with the kidnapping
and murder of her young daughter Bonnie, especially since
Bonnie's spirit is always with her. Eve has become a world-
renowned forensic sculptor striving to bring closure to
other parents who've lost children. Eve currently resides
in a lakeside home in Georgia with longtime-lover Joe
Quinn. Their adoptive daughter, Jane, whom they rescued
from the streets years ago, is now a grown woman with a
budding art career. Everything seems to be going well for
the small family, until a father determined to reconstruct
his late son's skull enters Eve's life.
Jim Doane is not your typical grieving father, and 25-year-
old Kevin was far from a typical son. Because of the
circumstances of Kevin's life and death, Doane cannot
approach Eve through the usual channels. After years of
searching for her, Doane will do whatever it takes to
assure he has Eve's undivided attention and incomparable
skills to resurrect his son's face. To say it's a twisted,
evil path they are traversing would be an understatement.
And there are several dark undercurrents at work that could
lead to even more dire repercussions for Eve and her loved
ones.
Iris Johansen continues her long-running Eve Duncan
saga with the dynamically chilling TAKING EVE, the first
book in a new trilogy that includes the upcoming HUNTING
EVE (July 2013) and SILENCING EVE (October 2013). The
ending of TAKING EVE leaves readers eager to read the next
book, since the resolution to Eve's dilemma is left
dangling. However, the progression of the pulse-pounding
plot in TAKING EVE will keep readers glued to the pages
with anticipation of the next breathtaking difficulty in
Eve's life.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen is
back with the first book in a chilling new Eve Duncan
trilogy that asks the question: will Eve survive what lies
ahead?
Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan's mission is to bring closure
to the families whose loved ones have vanished. She knows
their anguish--her own beloved daughter, Bonnie, was taken
from her when Bonnie was just seven years old. It is only
recently that this mystery was resolved and Eve could begin
her journey to peace.
Now, Jim Doane wants the same kind of answers that Eve
always longed for. His twenty-five-year old son may or may
not be dead and he has only burned skull fragments as
possible evidence. But he cannot go to the police for
answers without risking his own secrets and dark past, so
instead he chooses a bold step to find the truth--a truth
that takes Eve down a twisted path of madness and evil and
into the darkest heart of her own history. Doane needs Eve
Duncan's skills and he'll do anything to get them.
Even if it means taking Eve.
