This week’s teaser is from The Killing Game by Iris Johansen, book two in her popular Eve Duncan series. I read book one eons ago, and for some reason never got round to continuing the series, even though I liked book one and had the next couple in Mount TBR.
The skeleton has been in the ground for a long time. Joe Quinn had seen enough of them to recognize that. But for how long?
He turned to Sheriff Bosworth. “Who found it?”
“Two hikers. They stumbled on it late last night. Those rains the past few days washed it out of the ground. Hell, that storm slid half the mountain into the falls. A real gully washer.” His gaze narrowed on Joe’s face. “You must have hotfooted up here from Atlanta as soon as you heard about it.”
“Yes.”
“You think it’s connected to one of the Atlanta PD’s cases?”
“Maybe.” He paused. “No. This is an adult.”
“You’re looking for a kid?”
“Yes.”

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Series: Eve Duncan
A MERCILESS KILLER ON THE HUNT ... AN INNOCENT CHILD IN HIS SIGHTS ... A WOMAN DRIVEN TO THE EDGE TO STOP HIM ...
The killer knows Eve Duncan all too well. He knows the pain she feels for her murdered daughter, Bonnie, whose body has never been found. He knows that as one of the nation's top forensic sculptors she'll insist on identifying the nine skeletons unearthed on a bluff near Georgia's Talladega Falls. He knows she won't be able to resist the temptation of believing that one of those skeletons might be her daughter's. But that is only the beginning of the killer's sadistic game. He wants Eve one on one, and he'll use his ace in the hole to make sure she complies. And he won't stop playing until he claims the prize he wants most: Eve's life.
