Great mystery about a Forensic Sculptor who tries to recreate the dead to find the Killer. It is set in Baton Rouge. Eve is married to a detective and though she wants "out" of helping to solve mysteries she can't stop. If you have not made Iris Johansen one of your favorite mystery writers you certainly will after reading any one of her books.

Part of Eve Duncan series. This was one of the better ones. I enjoyed the characters more in this book because they seemed more real. I thought it had more emotional scenes that read well.

Excellent thriller about forsenic sculpting.

A new twist on forensics and murder mysteries. This book is about a forensic sculptor. I had never heard of that before. It gives a new slant to murder investigation, while telling a riveting mystery story.

I love Johansen's stories and this one certainly does not disappoint.

Brrrrr! Chilling!

Great book, fast read.

I like Johansen as an author.

An intriguing Eve Duncan mystery.

Good book, suspensful and full of twists.

A mystery starring Eve Duncan that's hard to put down!

Eve is a forensic sculptor, and has been called to Baton Rouge, and the murders begin.

Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is neither the cleverest fictional female detective nor the most original, but the meticulous care she devotes to her profession despite the emotional turmoil in her life makes her highly sympathetic. Here, she is tricked into leaving her adopted daughter, Jane, and cop boyfriend, Joe Quinn, to go to Baton Rouge. An influential senator and a fratricidal psychopath want her to work in a remote bayou to identify a battered skull, which may be all that remains of former senatorial candidate Harold Bentley. Duncan tries to reconstruct the skull's features, but it's hard to focus when someone has just tried to poison you and may be on his way to blow up your family. Duncan and wisecracking Sean Galen, hired by her Atlanta friends to protect her, are soon joined by potbellied reporter Bill Nathan, while in the shadows lurks Jules Hebert, a dangerous man of many disguises. First, Duncan's cook dies, then the cook's son, and then lies and dead bodies begin to pile up as Duncan struggles to finish the reconstruction and forgive Quinn for concealing the truth about her dead daughter, Bonnie. A barely credible anti-environment global conspiracy known only as the Cabal drives villains and good guys alike to violence as the story nears its explosive climax at an ex-president's funeral. Prolific bestselling author Johansen (Final Target) builds suspense by thrusting Duncan simultaneously into the unknown and back into the arms of her family in a romantic thriller whose plot may not stand much probing, but whose humanity keeps the reader rooting for its heroine every step of the way.
