The Bullet (Eve Duncan #27)

The Bullet by Iris Johansen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eve's reconstruction didn't really seem necessary to the plot and seemed more like a contrivance so the author could have her and Joe in the book.

Diane Connors (Joe's ex) has come up with a cure for "everything: based on some roots she found on a remote island. Unfortunate Nalam (the owner of a pharmaceutical company) will do anything and everything to stop her from bringing the drug to market, including torturing a young man with a brain injury (Kai) and threatening to kill him if Diane doesn't exchange places with him.

Diane and Alon (Kai's brother) exchange places with Kai. Joe leaves to take Kai to safety and all seems to be going well with their plan. Diane and Alon turn the tables on Nalam when Diane is able to get the gun that was secreted in Nalam's fortress by one of Cameron's men, and make their escape. But Joe is brutally shot and Diane has to use her "miracle cure" to save him. Not wanting to live without Eve the miracle cure is extended to her and possibly their son Michael.
