In his latest thriller, Greg Iles delivers top-notch suspense and multi-dimensional characterization. The story follows Jordan Glass, a renowned photojournalist, who stumbles upon an exhibit featuring a series of eerie paintings titled "The Sleeping Women." To her shock, one of the models resembles her twin sister Jane, who vanished over a year ago and is presumed murdered by a serial killer targeting women in New Orleans. Although the bodies of the victims remain missing, their faces eerily align with those in the paintings. Jordan teams up with seasoned FBI agent John Kaiser, who is investigating the anonymous artist, suspecting a connection to her father's disappearance in Vietnam three decades prior. This gripping narrative is expertly crafted, featuring a compelling secondary love story that enhances the plot without detracting from the tension. Jordan emerges as a captivating character, though her toughness may stretch believability. Iles not only captivates his existing readers but also draws in new fans, ensuring they remain engaged until the final page.
