Chasing the Night/Iris Johansen/362 pgs.

Readers either love or hate Iris Johansen's "Eve Duncan" books--I'm in the former category. Eve is a forensic sculptor usually working to identify the missing dead. In this book, however, her talents are used to try to locate a child who is possibly still alive--but who has been missing for 9 years. As with all of the Eve Duncan books, this one is suspenseful and fast moving. To get the true feel of Eve Duncan's personality, the reader should read the earlier Eve Duncan books--her character has evolved through the years.
