Books like Countdown by Iris Johansen
After a violent attack, Jane MacGuire realizes she is the target of a merciless killer. With no help from the police or her adoptive parents, she turns to forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and her husband, Joe Quinn of the Atlanta PD, to investigate. The hunt leads to Mark Trevor, a smuggler‑con‑man who claims to protect Jane from a killer obsessed with a 2,000‑year‑old mystery that could reshape the modern world. Jane’s past as an orphaned adoptee and her interest in one of archaeology’s greatest discoveries complicate the threat. With every page the clock ticks closer to zero, and the danger to those she loves grows.
