false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179250595m/893452.jpg 43996 15 Greg Iles lives up to the promise of his previous bestseller, <I>24 Hours</I>, with a new thriller that showcases his ability to deliver top-level suspense as well as multidimensional characterization. When Jordan Glass, a world-renowned photojournalist, happens on an exhibit of a series of paintings known as "The Sleeping Women," she is stunned to discover that one of the models--a nude who, like the other women in the paintings, looks dead rather than asleep--is her mirror image. But Jordan knows the face in the painting isn't her; it's her twin sister, Jane, who disappeared from her New Orleans home more than a year ago, and is presumed to have been murdered by a serial killer who's been snatching women off the streets of the Crescent City for at least that long. None of the bodies of the missing women have turned up, but their faces match the models in the other Sleeping Women paintings. A veteran FBI agent named John Kaiser brings Jordan into the Bureau's hunt for the anonymous artist, who may also know something about the disappearance of Jordan's father in Vietnam almost 30 years before. <p> This is a taut, well-crafted thriller with a nice secondary love story that's woven into the action without slowing it down. Jordan is a fascinating, many-sided character who's a little too tough to be wholly believable, but that's a minor quibble. While winning well-deserved new fans for Iles, <I>Dead Sleep</I> will keep his readers awake until the very last page. <I>--Jane Adams</I> 5951644 2001 Dead Sleep total:1030|5:262|4:403|3:303|2:58|1:4| 1030 3951 1340 107 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 14:52:02 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 15:04:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Apr 27 16:45:34 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 13:20:24 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 16:45:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Aug 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 08:08:54 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 08:21:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 04:06:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 04:10:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Mon Feb 04 13:15:07 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 13:15:17 -0800 2008

Regardless of whether it stands up in the face of this scrutiny, He can't seem to write a bad novel.
