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

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
