English Summary/英文概要： Number-oneNew York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen delivers a thriller that will chill you to the core: Eve Duncan’s adopted daughter Jane has been targeted by a mysterious cult who has decided that she has only eight days to live

Eve Duncan and her adopted daughter, Jane Macguire, are pitted against the members of a secretive cult who have targeted Jane and have decided that she will be their ultimate sacrifice. In eight days they will come for her. In eight days, what Jane fears the most will become a reality. In eight days, she will die. It all begins with a painting that Jane, an artist, displays in her Parisian gallery. The painting is called “Guilt” and Jane has no idea how or why she painted the portrait of the chilling face. But the members of a cult that dates back to the time of Christ believe that Jane’s blasphemy means she must die. But first, she will lead them to an ancient treasure whose value is beyond price. This elusive treasure, and Jane’s death, are all that they need for their power to come to ultimate fruition. With Eve’s help, can Jane escape before the clock stops ticking?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Eve Duncan的養女Jane被一個神秘的宗教信徒組織盯上，決定八天后將她作為祭品殺害。八天之中，簡最害怕的就是可怕的命運變成現實。故事的起因源于簡在巴黎藝術館展覽的一幅畫作。那幅畫叫做《罪惡》，簡也搞不清楚自己是如何或為何畫出那樣一張寒冷徹骨的臉。宗教組織認為那張畫褻瀆神靈，簡必須一死以謝罪。但是首先，她必須帶領他們尋找一份價值不菲的寶藏。寶藏和簡的犧牲將成為這個組織最終修成正果的決定因素。那麼在養母的幫助下，簡能夠逃離可怕的“生死八日”嗎？（徐曼曼）

Awards/获奖情况：Having injected vampires into 2009’s Blood Game, the previous Eve Duncan forensics thriller, bestseller Johansen introduces cryptotheology—the madeup religious stuff of Dan Brown—into this equally outlandish sequel. When Jane MacGuire, Eve’s adopted daughter, exhibits her paintings at a Paris gallery, one of Jane’s pieces, a creepy portrait titled Guilt, prompts a charge of blasphemy from a dangerous cult. Nailing the dead body of one of Jane’s friends to a cross shows the cult members mean business. Last seen in 2006’s Killer Dreams, John MacDuff and Jock Gavin show up at Jane’s door to protect her. Later Seth Caleb, the mysterious is-he-or-isn’t-he vampire from Blood Game, joins the team. An action-packed search to uncover Jane’s link to the cult and find a priceless religious artifact takes Jane and company across Europe—a journey that allows little focus on Eve and even less on her trademark forensic sculpting. 500,000 first printing. (Apr.) ---From Publishers Weekly

Although billed as an Eve Duncan Forensics Thriller, neither Eve nor forensics plays a big part in Johansen’s latest. Instead the focus is on Eve’s adopted daughter, Jane MacGuire, who has a successful art show at a Parisian gallery. But a painting titled Guilt has drawn some unwanted attention: the religious cult Sang Noir wants Jane dead. When the cult starts going after those closest to Jane, she turns to two strong, dangerous men: Jock, a trained assassin, and Seth, a hunter with psychic powers. Friction ensues between these two strapping guys as they fight to protect the globe-trotting Jane while she travels from Paris to Switzerland to Jerusalem in an attempt to find out why Sang Noir is so determined to kill her. She’s fighting an intense attraction to Caleb, even as she disapproves of his methods of extracting information, and when Eve’s life hangs in the balance, Jane finds herself crossing lines she never thought she would. Readers interested in hard forensic science will want to look elsewhere, but those receptive to paranormal abilities and religious mysteries will find much to enjoy in this page-turner.---Kristine Huntley, From Booklist
