Mammoth twists and head-pounding turns that will have readers and book clubs debating the roles of emotion and logic that drive human existence
Ted Dekker is a true master of thrillers, and this is his best.
It doesn't just get under your skin. It crawls there, nests, and raises its head with a bitter tug, as if it's living within you.
...a tour-de-force of suspense that demands to be read in one sitting.
Dekker is adept at unraveling stories of good and evil at a nail-biting pace...
There's lots of good Christian fiction around but it's virtually impossible to get non-Christians to read it because it's overtly Christian. This book isn't. The story is gripping. It weaves together the abduction of two young children, the unfolding drama of 'Eve' a serial killer who leaves no clues as he kills a young woman every month, and the tensions between Clark, his ex-wife and an attractive female detective. Be prepared for a terrifying climax.
