Description: Jordan Glass is a prize-winning photojournalist on a well-earned Hong Kong vacation. At a museum of Chinese art, she finds herself stared at by guards and other visitors. She stumbles upon a one-room, one-artist exhibit packed with men. The exhibit is titled "Nude Women in Repose" and consists of seven canvases by an unknown artist responsible for a series of paintings called "the Sleeping Women". They are a mystery in the world of modern art. The works have caused a sensation among Asian collectors who believe that they depict women in death, not in sleep. The most recent pieces to come to auction have sold for record prices. Jordan sees the last in the series and freezes with fear as those around her gape. The face in the painting belongs to Jordan. This haunting event sends her on a quest for vengeance -- for the face in the painting belongs not to Jordan but to her twin sister who was murdered in New Orleans only a year before. Jordan joins the FBI (including two characters from Mortal Fear, Baxter and Lenz) in tracking down the artist, his school of followers and an eccentric collector who knew Jordan's father in Indochina in the '50's. From Asia to the Caribbean, from New York to New Orleans, Jordan hunts her quarry in a thriller with all the hallmarks of a Greg Iles novel: dramatic sexual tension, vivid characters and mind-bending terror.
