A CIA agent's two-year-old child was stolen in the night as a brutal act
of vengeance. Now, eight years later, this torment is something
Catherine Ling awakens to every day. Her friends, family, and colleagues
tell her to let go, move on, accept that her son is never coming back.
But she can't. Catherine needs to find someone as driven and obsessed as
she is to help her--and that person is Eve Duncan. She knows that Eve
shares her nightmare, since closure is also something that eludes Eve
after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie. Now, Eve must take her
talents as a forensic sculptor to another level, using age progression
as a way to unite Catherine with her child. As Eve gets drawn deeper
into Catherine's horror, she must face looming demons of her own.
Bonnie's killer is still out there. And a new killer is taunting Eve and
Catherine at every turn. Is Catherine's son alive, or not? These two
women endure the worst fear any mother can imagine in Iris Johansen's
latest thrill ride, a gut-wrenching journey into the darkest places of
the soul.
