Part of Eve Duncan, book 11
First published 2010
Catherine Ling lost her two-year-old son eight years ago when someone stole him from his bed. The CIA agent refuses to accept what everyone tells her: that the boy will never return. She turns to forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, whose own daughter Bonnie vanished years earlier. Catherine believes Eve will understand her obsession because both women share the same nightmare. Eve agrees to use age progression techniques to help Catherine imagine what her son looks like now. The search draws Eve deeper into Catherine's world of pain while forcing her to confront her own unresolved trauma. Bonnie's killer remains free, and now a new murderer begins to target both women. The investigation becomes a race against time as Catherine and Eve face every mother's greatest fear while pursuing answers that may destroy them.
