Cara, the 11-year-old-daughter of drug kingpin Juan Castino, and her nursemaid, Elena, have been hiding in California ever since Cara's sister was murdered by a rival drug lord. When Elena is killed by an assassin, world-famous forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, who has sworn to protect Cara, kills him. In a heartrending narration, Elizabeth Rodgers portrays the violence as well as Cara's sense of loss and fear for her own safety. Desperation ensues when Eve learns of another hit man who is on their trail. Rodgers's deft portrayal of shifting emotions adds authenticity to this fast-paced, violent mystery.

Starred review from February 15, 2016
Alfredo Salazar, a Mexican drug lord, seeks to kill 11-year-old Cara Delaney, the daughter of a rival drug gang leader, in bestseller Johansen’s outstanding 19th Eve Duncan novel (after 2015’s Shadow Play). Eve and her live-in lover and former FBI agent, Joe Quinn, agree to bring Cara from California to their Atlanta home for her protection. When Joe decides that Cara will be safer elsewhere, Eve takes the girl to Scotland, where Eve’s adopted daughter, Jane MacGuire, and Jane’s associates, including Lord MacDuff, are searching for ancient treasure buried in the remote reaches of the Highlands. Extracts from Jane’s dreams about Cira, MacDuff’s ancestor who purportedly hid a chest of gold coins, provide a mystical undercurrent. The suspense rises as Salazar and his henchmen get on Cara’s trail, and Joe knows that both Eve and Cara are in danger. This first-rate novel of romantic suspense will please Johansen’s many fans and newcomers alike. Agent: Andrea Cirillo, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
