Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Prolific bestseller Johansen subjects gutsy Jane Maguire to more troubles in her latest thrill ride. Jane, the adopted daughter of forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, was threatened by one serial killer in 1999's The Killing Game and another in 2004's Blind Alley, so it's no surprise that she's in danger again. The once troubled adolescent is now a brilliant Harvard student and talented artist who spends her summers at far-off archeological digs in Pompeii and Herculaneum, but she's still haunted by her resemblance to Cira, a woman who lived 2,000 years ago in the latter city. Suddenly she's being ambushed in alleys. Does the attempted kidnapping have something to do with Blind Alley's climax, in which Eve; her husband, Joe Quinn of the Atlanta PD; soldier of fortune Mark Trevor; and Jane, the bait, triumphed over the psychopath who was killing women who looked like Cira? You bet it does, as Trevor turns up in Cambridge, enigmatic but still definitely magnetic, determined to protect Jane from danger due to new developments regarding Cira, "the femme fatale of the ancient world." Seems all kinds of notorious criminals are after Cira's lost gold, but some people have mass murder on their minds. Action, romance, castles, bomb plots and a booby-trapped hideaway in snowbound Idaho—what more could Johansen fans want? Agent, Andrea Cirillo at the Jane Rotrosen Agency. (May)

From AudioFile

Jane McGuire's dreams hold the key to the location of gold buried in Pompeii after Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. Mark Trevor takes Jane to Scotland to keep her safe. Enemies want her to reveal her secrets, and no one will stop without the gold. Kate Burton digs into her bag of tricks to bring Scots, Brits, and Americans to life. The action is fierce, and Burton keeps the tension at its peak using fast-paced dialogue and narrative. The abridgment is obvious--the story seems to start in the middle--but the pieces slowly come together, and the conclusion is shocking. This thriller is not for the faint of heart.

1.0 out of 5 stars silly, Jul 14 2005
By wynne (Cardigan, New Brunswick Canada) - See all my reviews
Really silly to believe that a 21 yr old student can outwit and outmatch international terrorists, homeland security forces, CIA, and various mercenaries just because she is cute and fiesty. This is really old character writing and not very clever, the only interesting part for me was the Egyptian/Roman archeologic tie in.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ending, Jul 6 2005
I tried this book since I got it for free. It was pretty interesting throughout bringing out some great ideas and concepts, however the ending was a huge disappointment for me. It just ended and nothing was really concluded. The whole theme through the book was never really resolved and I finished the book without any feeling of enjoyment. I said "that's it???, what a waste of time"

The author could have concluded better in my opinion or closed some tangent story lines that was introduced.
