Editorial Review: Product Description: It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clark knows the elusive killer he's been stalking. He's devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. He's pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. He's delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the killings. What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eve's next victim. He will be the killer's first Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead. Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience. He knows he's seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothing--not even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his own death--seems to bring him closer to finding the killer. Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul. Enter a world of death and near death that blurs the lines between fiction and reality in a way that will leave you stunned. "The detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we can't help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful." David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors of The Dark Sacrament Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My first Dekker bookThis is a fiction thriller, with a Christian message. I enjoyed the fast pass and mystery of this book. It is an easy read, yet Dekker's style of writing doesn't quite flow to my taste, and seems to be overly forced at times. Rating:  - First DekkerI had seen Ted Dekker's books in the store and library many times but had never gotten around to reading one. I had heard only good things about his writing, but after reading this I'm wondering why. The description of the book's story line grabbed my attention, but I was sorely diappointed in the story itself. I thought the story turned out to be very predictable. The dialog was stilted and wooden and seemed more like something a first time author would write rather than a seasoned author. I felt ... Read More: Rating:  - Great Read!!!ADAM is my first book by Ted Dekker. It is a great read! It keeps your attention throughout and the twist is great. Rating: - Leaves readers with lingering reminders that there are worlds of good and evil at play around us each dayWith ADAM, prolific author Ted Dekker spins another high-voltage web of intrigue. As is his norm, he weaves an intense emotional drama that has readers transfixed until the final page. In this evocative story, Dekker's protagonist, FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark, finds himself a victim of sorts of his own anti-religion philosophy when he allows an obsession with a serial killer dubbed "Eve" to destroy his marriage and overtake his life. Though Daniel writes eloquently about the ... Read More: Rating: - The ultimate psychological thrillerTo say that this novel is a psychological thriller is an understatement. The human psyche is deeply explored, as well as more about spiritual forces than at first glance. It's also not just a serial killer book, though that is one aspect. Abuse, fear, evil, victimization, freedom of choice, religion, triumph over evil, truth over lies, courage, and love all have a part in the whole. But the whole is definitely more than the sum of its parts. What might happen to someone who is severely abused ... Read More: |
