Synopsis

Enter a world of death and near-death that blurs the lines between fiction and reality in a way that will leave you stunned.

It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clark knows the elusive killer he’s been stalking. He’s devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. He’s pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. He’s delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the killings.

What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eve’s next victim. He will be the killer’s first Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead.

Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience. He knows he’s seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothing—not even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his own death--seems to bring him closer to finding the killer.

Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul.

“If you read one thriller this year—make it Adam. It’s a high-octane thriller that lays bare the battle between good and evil in a way that will stun readers.” —Lis Wiehl, legal analyst and author of Hunting Charles Manson

“The detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we can’t help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful.” —David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors of The Dark Sacrament

• Fast-paced thriller with Christian themes
• Full-length, stand-alone novel from New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Mammoth twists and head-pounding turns that will have readers and book clubs debating the roles of emotion and logic that drive human existence (Publishers Weekly)

Ted Dekker is a true master of thrillers, and this is his best. (Nelson DeMille on THE BRIDE COLLECTOR)

It doesn't just get under your skin. It crawls there, nests, and raises its head with a bitter tug, as if it's living within you. (Brad Meltzer on THE BRIDE COLLECTOR)

...a tour-de-force of suspense that demands to be read in one sitting. (James Rollins on THE BRIDE COLLECTOR)

Dekker is adept at unraveling stories of good and evil at a nail-biting pace... (Library Journal Review on THE BONE MAN'S DAUGHTERS)

There's lots of good Christian fiction around but it's virtually impossible to get non-Christians to read it because it's overtly Christian. This book isn't. The story is gripping. It weaves together the abduction of two young children, the unfolding drama of 'Eve' a serial killer who leaves no clues as he kills a young woman every month, and the tensions between Clark, his ex-wife and an attractive female detective. Be prepared for a terrifying climax. (Christian Marketplace on ADAM)

Présentation de l'éditeur

FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark is a man on a mission. After over a year of tracking a mysterious serial killer known as Eve, he feels closer than ever to discovering the murderer's true identity when he finds Eve's latest victim still alive.

In an effort to save the girl, Daniel narrowly escapes becoming another casualty on Eve's list. Despite seeing the killer with his own eyes, a gunshot wound to the head leaves him with amnesia, unable to remember any details from the incident. His drive to find the killer takes on a whole new meaning when Eve takes yet another victim, one Daniel knows all too well-his estranged wife Heather.

Determined to bring her back alive, Daniel takes his obsession to a dangerous new level, even recreating his own near-death experience in attempt to recall anything from his encounter with Eve. Soon enough he finds himself fighting for Heather's life, and, in the end, his own.
