BLOOD GAME, the latest page-turning adrenaline ride from #1 blockbuster bestselling author

Iris Johansen

To whet a killers appetite

When a Georgia senators daughter is found dead and drained of blood, Eve enters the world of a twisted psychopath—a man whose name appears on Eves shortlist of killers connected to her own missing daughter, Bonnie.

she will enter into a web of danger

Then Eve receives a terrifying trophy—and the games have begun. Soon she must enlist the help of those she loves and trusts the most—Joe Quinn and Jane MacGuire—even if it means putting them in the path of someone whose thirst for blood is only growing stronger.

from which there may be no escape…

Eve believes this psychotic mind holds the answers to the questions that have tormented her for years. But like a spider hunting its prey, he is waiting for the perfect moment to strike—when Eve least expects it. And when she has the most to lose…“Johansen keeps readers on the edge of their seats.”—Booklist  

Review:

"Bestseller Johansen's latest Eve Duncan forensics thriller features an all-too-mortal vampire. Fresh off a multiple child homicide case (Quicksand), Eve discovers a blood-stained goblet in her refrigerator. The goblet closely resembles one found with the bloodless body of Nancy Jo Norris, a U.S. senator's 19-year-old daughter, the victim of a wannabe Dracula who ultimately thirsts for Eve. In a paranormal twist, Joe Quinn, Eve's FBI love interest, appears to have contracted psychic powers from Megan Blair, introduced in Pandora's Daughter, and can now see dead people — Nancy Jo and Eve's daughter, Bonnie, to be exact. The ghosts guide the search for the serial sucker, complete with corny gothic monologues. Johansen risks alienating some readers as the series slips deeper into the supernatural, but diehards will be pleased Eve at last finds some peace in her ever-growing bond with Joe. 500,000 first printing."

Synopsis:

First comes darkness, then comes fear

Eve Duncan is back! Blockbuster New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansens latest thriller brings Eve closer to discovering her daughters killer…and into a web of danger from which she may not be able to escape…

Eve Duncan returns in a thriller that pits her against the most evil mind she has ever encountered: a ruthless killer who taunts her with his every move…and who has a special affinity for blood. When a Georgia senators daughter is found murdered, and her body drained of blood, Eve Duncan is drawn into the web of Kevin Jelak—a serial murderer who is on Eves short list of killers who might know something about her missing daughter Bonnie. When a goblet of blood is found in Eves refrigerator, she knows the taunting is over…and the games have begun. As Eve and Jelak engage in a dance of death, Eve must call upon those she loves and trusts the most…even if it means bringing them into the game as well.
