SynopsisThe sixth Eve Duncan thriller is a direct follow-up to the storyline in the previous book in the series, BLIND ALLEY, in which the forensic sculptor discovered the amazing resemblance between her adopted daughter, Jane, and an ancient Roman wall-painting. Jane takes a break from studying for finals at Harvard to pull her drunken (and underage) friend Mike out of a bar. On the way back home, they are attacked by two assailants who shoot Mike, although they make it clear that their primary target is Jane. Jane must learn why before any more harm is done to the people she loves. The countdown begins the moment you open this riveting novel that only grows more electrifying as the pages turn, more exciting as time runs out. Don't kill her. She's no good to us dead. These words haunt Jane MacGuire after a shocking attack shatters her world in an instant. Was it a random kidnapping attempt or the countdown to something far more sinister? Who is after her and what do they want so badly they'll kill anyone in their way? That's what Jane is determined to find out, without the help of the police, the FBI, or her adoptive parents, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and her husband, Joe Quinn, of the Atlanta PD because whoever is after her wont hesitate to hurt those she loves the most. Now Jane will go on the run with the only man who may be more dangerous than those who are pursuing her. A smuggler, a con man, and who knew what else, Mark Trevor had his own mysterious reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe and out of the hands of a killer obsessed with a two-thousand-year-old mystery that could rock the modern-day world. Orphaned at an early age, Jane grew up the hard way, but she was given a new life, a loving family, and a chance to pursue her interest in one of the greatest archaeological finds ever unearthed. The past is returning with the kind of vengeance that knows no mercy.
