 BONNIE

When Eve Duncan gave birth to her daughter, she experienced a love she

never knew existed. Nothing would stand in the way of giving Bonnie a wonderful life –

until the unthinkable happened and the seven-year-old vanished into thin air. Eve found

herself in the throes of a nightmare from which there was no escape. But a new Eve

emerged: a woman who would use her remarkable talent as a forensic sculptor to help

others find closure in the face of tragedy. A former Navy SEAL turned cop, Joe Quinn

has seen the face of evil and knows just how deadly it can be. When he first met Eve

Duncan, he never expected to fall in love with a woman whose life would be defined by

her dual desires to bring home her missing daughter and discover the truth behind her

disappearance - no matter how devastating. Now with the help of her beloved Joe

Quinn and CIA agent Catherine Ling, Eve has come closer than ever to the truth. But

the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that Bonnie's father is a key player in solving

this monstrous puzzle. And that Bonnie's disappearance was not as random as

everyone had always believed....

Together, they make a shocking discovery that sheds new light on young Bonnie's

abduction and puts Quinn squarely in the crosshairs of danger. Eve's first love, John

Gallo, a soldier supposedly killed in the line of duty, is very much alive - and very much

a threat. Emotionally charged, with one shock after another, Quinn reveals the

electricity of Joe and Eve's first connection, and how they fell in love in the midst of

haunting tragedy. As their search takes them deeper and deeper into a web of murder

and madness, Joe and Eve must confront their most primal fears... and test their

resolve to uncover the ultimate bone-chilling truth, Bonnie. Bonnie - she appears to be a

spirit come back to encourage her mother to get on with life and not feel responsible for

her death. But, eve painstakingly would made her way through numerous possible leads

and serial killers to get to the bottom of what really happened on that fateful day and to
bring her daughter back home where she belongs.

 CHARACTERS

Eve Duncan

Eve is a survivor who has lived a hard life but managed to succeed against unthinkable
odds. She is real, intelligent, loving, and still tortured by the kidnapping and murder of
her seven year old child, Bonnie. Eve was illegitimate, raised in the slums of Atlanta
with a mother on drugs and a burning desire to rise above it all. But at sixteen, like her
mother, she gave birth to an illegitimate child. It could have ruined her life but she fought
back and the love she had for her baby transformed Eve and everyone around her. She
was completing college and on her way to giving her Bonnie the secure life Eve had
never experienced, when her daughter was taken and killed. Neither her killer nor
Bonnie’s body have ever been found and the search has become an obsession that
dominates Eve’s every waking moment.

. Joe Quinn

Joe is tough, intelligent and has a curiosity that has made him a top notch
investigator. He was born to wealth and his upbringing was completely different from
Eve’s. He went to Harvard Law school and then decided to pitch a career in politics and
joined the Navy SEALs. After he left the military he became an agent for the FBI. He
was assigned the Bonnie Duncan case and it was the turning point in his life. He met
Eve, fell in love, and became involved in both her tragedy and her search for her
daughter. Their relationship is one of passion and intensity—a true love story in every
sense.
 Joe left the FBI and became a Detective with the Atlanta Police Department and
the job suits him just fine. He can stay close to Eve and still have a career that
challenges him. Their relationship has moments of turbulence and strain because of
Eve’s obsession and the danger to which it exposes her. Joe has also had his own
challenges to overcome—he can be steady, reckless, exciting, and cool, but he is
always a man you have to consider in any equation or situation.
