Review #111
An Eve Duncan Forensic Mystery (almost)
Eve Duncan's adopted daughter, Jane MacGuire, has been targeted by a mysterious cult and according to their leader, she has only eight days to live!
When Jane exhibits her paintings at a Paris gallery, one of her pieces, a creepy portrait titled ‘Guilt’, prompts a charge of blasphemy from a dangerous religious cult. Jane created the painting from a dream image which, apparently, connects to a prophecy and a cult that dates back to the time of Christ. Nailing the dead body of one of Jane's friends to a cross shows the cult members mean business.
An action-packed search to uncover Jane's link to the cult and find a priceless religious artifact takes her traveling across Europe. Jane stays one step ahead of the killers with the help of two strong but silent assassin friends. Jock Gavin works for the CIA and the other, Seth Caleb, has some sort of extra ability to read minds, mentally “adjust attitudes” and to boil a person's blood from the inside out.
While Eve Duncan is present (kidnapped by the villains) for parts of this thriller, the action focuses on Jane and the psychopathic men determined to kill her.
Not the usual Eve Duncan mystery, but a good one anyway!
