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.
