Cas's Book Club's First Pick...



Okay, let me start off by saying this is an older book by Greg Iles. It is a fantastic book, to be perfectly honest I have probably already recommended this book to most of you. So this is really more for the people that haven't already heard me rave about it. This book is incredibly written, and takes a pretty unexpected turn. I am curious to see how many of you were able to put it down before finishing it. This is one of the very few books I read from cover to cover in a day, it was that fascinating to me. I hope you all enjoy it...


Here is an overview on the book:


When Jordan Glass, a world-renowned photojournalist, happens on an exhibit of a series of paintings known as "The Sleeping Women," she is stunned to discover that one of the models--a nude who, like the other women in the paintings, looks dead rather than asleep--is her mirror image. But Jordan knows the face in the painting isn't her; it's her twin sister, Jane, who disappeared from her New Orleans home more than a year ago, and is presumed to have been murdered by a serial killer who's been snatching women off the streets of the Crescent City for at least that long. None of the bodies of the missing women have turned up, but their faces match the models in the other Sleeping Women paintings. A veteran FBI agent named John Kaiser brings Jordan into the Bureau's hunt for the anonymous artist, who may also know something about the disappearance of Jordan's father in Vietnam almost 30 years before.
