Countdown

By: Iris Johansen

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A young woman finds herself caught in a maze of secrets and stalked by a merciless killer in this breakneck Eve Duncan novel from renowned author Iris Johansen.

“Top-notch . . . a unique supernatural twist on the classic thriller.”—Booklist

“Don’t kill her. She’s no good to us dead.” These words haunt Jane MacGuire. She thought she’d escaped a random kidnapping, but she’s about to learn that the truth is far more terrifying. . . .

Now Jane is running for her life. Her adoptive parents, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn, of the Atlanta PD, can’t help. The FBI can’t help. No one can. Except a man who may be more dangerous than those pursuing her. A smuggler, a con man, Mark Trevor had his own mysterious reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe from a relentless killer and a two-thousand-year-old mystery that could rock the modern-day world.

For the past is returning with a vengeance that knows no mercy. The countdown has begun, and it’s closer to zero than anyone thinks.

Wonderful

I absolutely love the Eve Duncan series. I can’t wait each month for my chance to get the next book. Iris Johansen is one of my favorite authors.

Good storyline!

I really enjoyed this novel's storyline in the Eve Duncan series. Four of five stars.

bad narrator

Should have used the same narrator as blind alley. the southern draw has me losing interest within 2md chapter.

Good storyline with twists and turns.

I love the stories and characters in the Eve Duncan series. Good production by the reader.

Great!

Iris Johansen done it again! A great book! It is very helpful if you've read the previous Eve Duncan books, especially "Blind Alley" because this is ties into the story. As a Iris Johansen fan, I absolutely love this. Bernadette Dunn is a wonderful narrator, she makes you feel like you are in the middle of the events and not at home listenting to a book....... Great Job!
