  As a forensic sculptor, Eve Duncan's methods are somewhat unconventional. She reconstructs skulls with skeletal remains to help professionals identify the victims. Montalvo, a Colombian drug lord, asks Eve to come to his compound to help solve the mystery of his wife's disappearance. Against the wishes of her government-connected boyfriend, Eve accepts, and the adventure begins. Van Dyck's even tones complement the variety of characters. To depict Eve, she invokes a lovely lilt, befitting a woman from Atlanta. To portray Montalvo and other South American characters, she speaks in a Spanish accent that thankfully avoids stereotypes. The only weakness is her characterization of a Brit, who sounds more like an Irishman. Still, Van Dyck's vocal skills shine as she maintains high tension. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
