Quinn

Starred review from May 30, 2011
Bestseller Johansen's thrilling second entry (after Eve) in a special trilogy featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan finds Eve at the hospital bedside of her severely injured longtime lover, FBI agent Joe Quinn. The story flashes back to Joe and Eve's first meeting, when he arrives at her Atlanta doorstep to investigate the disappearance of Bonnie, her seven-year-old daughter. While Eve devotes herself to the search for Bonnie, she also joins Joe in his quest for clues in the mysterious disappearances of other children. Joe hopes that their friendship, based on mutual respect and honesty, will lead to more. As Eve seeks relentlessly to find closure in Bonnie's disappearance, she deliberately puts herself in harm's way to lure the killer connected with the missing children out in the open. Suspense kicks into high gear as the killer strikes very close to Eve. As the novel fast forwards to a present-day search for another killer, the pulse-pounding pace will leave readers breathlessly anticipating the final installment. 400,000 first printing.

In the second installment (after Eve, 2011) in Johansens trilogy about the fate of forensic sculptor Eve Duncans daughter, Bonnie, Joe Quinn is in a coma, welcoming the darkness, when Bonnies spirit draws him back to life. Joe recalls first meeting Eve when he was an FBI agent newly assigned to help Atlantas police locate her missing daughter. He had never felt an attraction like that before. He would do anything for Eve, including jeopardize his job as he joins her in the search for Bonnie. Eve, utterly self-reliant, had never had an equal partner until she met Joe. Now, as she faces the fear of losing him, nothing seems to matter until Joe begins to recover, and their CIA friend, Catherine Ling, launches the search for John Gallo, who nearly killed Joe. John, Eves first love, is Bonnies father and may be her murderer. Johansens latest has myriad twists and turns, making it an ideal middle book since fans eagerly seek the same answers that the characters do to the questions of who took Eves daughter and why. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Readers will keep pace as this heavily promoted, 400,000-copy per installment series by best-selling Johansen continues.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
