In this “fast-paced, nonstop, clever” (USA Today) novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen introduces her most popular character ever: forensic sculptor Eve Duncan.

“Johansen keeps her story moving at breakneck speed.”—Chicago Daily Sun

An unidentified skull. A trail of shocking secrets. And a woman whose hands could reveal the terrifying truth.

After her beloved daughter vanishes, Eve Duncan survives by immersing herself in her work. The best in her elite field at rebuilding faces from fragments of skull bones, she helps to put a name to a face, to identify missing children. It is Eve’s way of coming to terms with her personal nightmare. But more terror lies ahead when she accepts a job from billionaire John Logan. Beneath Eve’s gifted hands, a face begins to emerge from the skull he has given her to reconstruct—a face that no one was ever meant to see.

Now Eve is trapped in a web of murder and deceit as powerful enemies rush to cover up the truth, determined that their secrets go to the grave—even if Eve gets buried with them.
