It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel ClarkΒ knowsΒ the elusive killer heβs been stalking. Heβs devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. Heβs pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. Heβs delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the killings.
What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eveβs next victim. He will be the killerβs firstΒ Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead.
Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience. He knows heβs seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothingβnot even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his own death--seems to bring him closer to finding the killer.
Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul.
βIf you read one thriller this yearβmake it Adam. Itβs a high-octane thriller that lays bare the battle between good and evil in a way that will stun readers.β βLis Wiehl, legal analyst and author of Hunting Charles Manson
βThe detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we canβt help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful.β βDavid M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors ofΒ The Dark Sacrament
