It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clarkย knowsย the elusive killer heโs been stalking. Heโs devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. Heโs pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. Heโs 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 Eveโs next victim. He will be the killerโs firstย 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 heโs seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothingโnot 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.
โIf you read one thriller this yearโmake it Adam. Itโs a high-octane thriller that lays bare the battle between good and evil in a way that will stun readers.โ โLis Wiehl, legal analyst and author of Hunting Charles Manson
โThe 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 canโt help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful.โ โDavid M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors ofย The Dark Sacrament
