** spoiler alert ** I liked this book a lot better than previous one as this one actually has Eve involved a little bit as the previous one was all about Sarah and no mention of Eve. I am an Iris Johansen fan though.

This story gives the reader more insight to Jane MacGuire, Eve and Joe 17yo adopted daughter. I enjoyed the fact that you got to know more about Jane and how she thinks and acts. She is devoted to Toby, the dog Sarah gave to her and Jane is very independent and stubborn and comes across as more mature than her age due to early childhood.

The story is actually centered around Jane mainly. Aldo is obsessed with anyone who has the face that looks like Cira, a woman from 2000 years ago, and will kill anyone who looks like her. Jane looks very much like her and Aldo decides that she must die.

Introduced in this story is Bartlett and Trevor (who if I remember correctly is in later books also.) Trevor is a bit of a con man who is trying to 'save' Jane from Aldo but, Trevor and Aldo know each other from years ago.

The story ends up taking all the characters to a place far away from Atlanta where they have lured Aldo into a trap to stop him from killing more women. In between all of this, Jane is having dreams that she is Cira and is trying to escape from a volucano that is erupting. Jane also is having a love interest with Trevor who is much older than her.

With the help of Sontag, an archelogist, they plant false stories in newspapers and magazine to lure Aldo to Herculaneum where Cira lived. They also concoct a false story that Eve will being doing a reconstruction of what they believe is Cira. Joe and Jane follow Eve here in order to set the trap for Aldo.

Thankfully, the love interest between the two did not develope into anything yet due to mainly Jane's age. One does have to wonder though how Jane managed to get everyone on board to let her lure Aldo to Cira's old ciry, and to let herself being used as bait. The only thing that I did not believe/like is the ending where Jane is hurt due to the stabbing from Aldo and she will not go and get medical attention as she feels that she needs to help Joe dig Eve from a cave-in. Eve is not injured and yet she does not tell Jane to get herself taken care of. I would have thought that any parent who is ok would tell there kids to get themself taken care of before trying to help dig a cave-out.
