The Mark on Eve

Surprising developments drive Fox’s political thriller with a supernatural twist. California governor Judith Rhodes, who could soon be elected the country’s first female president, is about to enter the L.A. Coliseum for a campaign rally when a member of her protective detail attempts to shoot her. Amazingly, TV producer Eve Skellar, who helped organize the rally, throws herself in harm’s way and takes the bullet. Even more amazingly, Eve is only knocked unconscious as a result. Her incredible survival and seeming lack of a past rouse the curiosity of an ambitious journalist, Tom Evanger. Flashbacks reveal that Eve is actually several hundred years old, the victim of a witch’s curse. Meanwhile, as Evanger comes closer to the truth, an old lover threatens the governor with blackmail, and she runs into a political firestorm when her supporters refer to God as being female. The plot twists come fast and furious, and few readers will be able to predict how it all ends. (BookLife)
