A HEROINE BATTLES FOR HER LIFE January 11, 2007
12 out of 19 found this review helpful
Following on the heels of her wildly successful last thriller starring forensic professor Eve Duncan (On The Run, 2006), the writer who has been called "the queen of suspense" now presents an equally terrifying tale that pits Eve against a fearsome killer.
As fans of Iris Johansen know she wastes little time in roping readers/listeners in. It all begins with a phone call, in fact the third she has received from Luis Montalvo, a Colombian drug lord. She's hard at work reconstructing a skull and wants no interruptions but can't resist picking up the phone to tell Montalvo in no uncertain terms that he's not to call her again. But, this is a man who does not take no for an answer, and says,
"I'm convinced you'll be my guest in a very short time."
"Why?"
"That would spoil the surprise. I like to see a plan unfold like a beautiful night flower."
"You mentioned Joe and my adopted daughter. You touch them and I'll kill you."
"That violence again." His tone was amused. "I'd never be that stupid. That would be the trigger that would send you into the fray to take me down. I want your cooperation."
As much as she detests the man he has the one key that will make her agree to go to him - information about her daughter, Bonnie, who was abducted years ago and is presumed dead. Once in the jungles of Colombia Eve finds herself trapped, caught in a battle between drug dealers.
And neither side cares whether Eve lives or dies.
If you like to see a heroine battling for her life and favor thrillers with dashes of forensic detail - this one's for you!
- Gail Cooke
