It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clark "knows "the elusive killer he's been stalking. He's devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. He's pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysteriously, all in underground caverns. He's delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the murders. What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eve's next victim. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn when Daniel is fatally shot. Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel is haunted by the experience. He knows he's seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothing--not even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his death--brings him closer to Eve. Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul.
