24. Dead Sleep by Greg Iles
Photojournalist Jordan Glass is visiting a museum in Japan and finds herself face-to-face with a painting of herself naked and sleeping. She quickly realizes that the painting must be of her twin sister who has been missing for a year and Jane is not asleep, she is dead. Jordan realizes that all the paintings in the exhibit called "Sleeping Women" are actually of dead women. She quickly returns to the U.S. and joins forces with the FBI and an investigator in New Orleans where most of the women disappeared. As she tries to find out if here sister truly is dead and who took her, Jordan begins to also learn more about her father, a famous photographer who went missing in Vietnam twenty years earlier. This mystery had plenty of suspense and action; and its view into the high dollar stakes of the art world was very interesting. However, I found the romance that develops between Jordan and the investigator to be implausible and contrived. Rating: 4
