From Publishers Weekly-Amazon
In the latest Eve Duncan forensics thriller from bestseller Johansen (Killer Dreams), the Atlanta-based forensic sculptor with an international reputation finds herself attracted, not always convincingly, to a sleazy manipulator. Duncan, who specializes in reconstructing facial features from skulls, has buried herself in her work since the disappearance and presumed death of her seven-year-old daughter, Bonnie, years earlier. That still-open wound is probed with sadistic skill by Luis Montalvo, a shady Colombian arms dealer, who offers to solve the mystery of what happened to Bonnie if Duncan agrees to attempt a reconstruction from a skull Montalvo believes was his late wife's. Despite the misgivings of her former husband, an FBI agent, Duncan accepts, and soon finds herself dodging bullets in a war between Montalvo and a drug lord rival in the Colombian jungle.
This was ok. The Eve Duncan series are starting to all seem the same to me.
Will probably send out as RABCK.

What a pleasant surprise to get this with a ray I was expecting. THanks. I look forward to reading this in the future.
I did enjoy this book an awful lot- still love the main characters BUT it seemed very familiar to me. I kept thinking I had read it before though I knew I hadn't. I am thinking that there were some strong similarities to another of her books.
