Review
'Dekker is adept at unraveling stories of good and evil at a nail-biting pace...' (Library Journal Review )

'Ted Dekker is clearly one of the most gripping storytellers alive today.' (Jeremy Reynalds, syndicated columnist )

'There's lots of good Christian fiction around but it's virtually impossible to get non-Christians to read it because it's overtly Christian. This book isn't. The story is gripping. It weaves together the abduction of two young children, the unfolding drama of 'Eve' a serial killer who leaves no clues as he kills a young woman every month, and the tensions between Clark, his ex-wife and an attractive female detective. Be prepared for a terrifying climax. Be prepared to learn!' (Christian Marketplace on Adam )

Brilliant
Ted Dekker is simply one of my favorite authors. He combines adrenaline laced thriller with philosophy that would make the hardest of anti-theist think. Plus, with books such as this one, he stays within the "real" world. Sure characters aren't shown beeping and f-ing, but they curse, they talk about sex, the characters are "real". This is amazing considering so many christian authors fall into the trap of having goody-good good guys and big mean baddies.

But this books real merit? I haven't done anything today apart from read. It kept me captivated for a long stretch and at no point did I want to walk away.

What about down sides? Well some bits are a little inconsistant or unexplained, but only the worst critics would hold these slight details against Dekker.

Very enjoyable and gripping. Recommended.
