Eden - Candice Fox

n n n n nI fool myself that Eden has a heart-that she would at least have trouble killing me...n n n n nMost homicide detective teams run on trust, loyalty, and the shared desire to put killers behind bars. Frank Bennett's partner, Eden Archer, thrives on darkness and danger. She has a rare talent for catching killers-but her idea of justice has little to do with courtrooms.n n n n nNow three girls are missing, and Eden is going undercover to a remote farm where the troubled hide and blood falls more often than rain.

Frank's job is to keep an eye on his partner while she's there-- but is it for Eden's protection, or to protect others from her? Walking a tightrope between duty and desperation, Frank confronts a threat from Eden's past. Suddenly, the hunter is the hunted.

And a killer's vicious desires are about to be unleashed...n n n n nGrim, gritty, fast-paced ...each character adds depth and interest to an already absorbing plotline. Fox fantastically builds on her previous book, leaving a cliff-hanger that will leave readers clamoring for the next series title. --Library Journal (Starred Review)n n n n nIn Australian author Fox's nail-biting follow-up to Hades, the narrative is highly effective...

Fox keeps her characters firmly in shades of gray, and it's their complexity that drives this riveting thriller, right through to the gruesome, surprising finale. --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)n n n n
