Eve Duncan’s daughter Jane MacGuire seems to have found a perfect life with Seth Caleb—until a ruthless madman threatens to destroy it all, in this gripping suspense novel from #1 bestselling author Iris Johansen.

Jane MacGuire is enjoying a period of domestic bliss as she focuses on her art and her partner Seth Caleb uses his unique abilities as an agent for the MI6 intelligence service. But when Seth crosses crime lord Hugh Bohdan, he incurs the wrath of one of the world’s most powerful criminal empires…one whose tentacles reach across the globe and even to the idyllic Scottish retreat where Jane is working.

Soon Jane is on the run, struggling to stay one step ahead of Bohdan’s army and his devastating high-tech weaponry. Even with the assistance of Earl John MacDuff, she finds danger at every turn. But with that peril comes an astonishing discovery: a 200-year-old secret on the brink of becoming lost to history.

Jane and Seth must join forces to unlock the fascinating puzzle, even as they hurtle toward a lethal final confrontation in the Highlands. But before their adventure is over, Jane and Seth will encounter their biggest shock of all…and realize nothing can be the same for them ever again.

 
MY REVIEW:


Captive (Eve Duncan #29)Captive by Iris Johansen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 29th book of the Eve Duncan series. Focused on Eve's daughter Jane and her partner Seth Caleb.
Seth works for a M16 Intelligence Service and hired to take out a ruthless madman, Bohdan.
Jane goes to Scotland to be safe and uncovers a past and some art that she wants to know more of. Her life and Caleb's are in danger and no matter where they go they seem to be hunted.
You can feel the love between Caleb and Jane and what they do for each other even when they are mad at each other. How far reaching Bohdan has and what he won't do to find them
I look forwards to more in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the ebook to review.
