All Even Duncan novels involve much more than just facial reconstruction. Joe Quinn is a cop so he always has a case going on and Eve occasionally works for the CIA so there's a good chance she'll be involved in something dangerous. Regardless of waht's going on, Eve (or Joe) are always the target of some whack-job and this book is no different.

Catherine Ling's (a CIA operative) son was kidnapped 9 years ago by a Russian crime boss whom she tried to take down at the CIA's instigation. In revenge, Rakovac kidnapped her son and has been tormenting her for years. Catherine has come to Eve to do an age progression on Luke so that Catherine can recognize him when she goes to rescue him. Unfortunately for Eve, Rakovac knows Catherine is coming and that Eve is involved. Now he's after two birds with one stone.

And because that's not enough stress for Eve (and Catherine), enter Kelly, a 14 year old kidnap/ra mathematical prodigy who sees patterns where others don't Can she convince Catherine to let her help or will Catherine send her back to her mother?

I could have done without the terrorist angle but otherwise the book was great. Eve Duncan mysteries never disappoint.
