Former NYPD detective Charlie "Bird" Parker is on the verge of madness. Tortured by the unsolved slayings of his wife and young daughter, he is a man consumed by guilt, regret, and the desire for revenge. When his former partner asks him to track down a missing girl, Parker finds himself drawn into a world beyond his imagining: a world where thirty-year-old killings remain shrouded in fear and lies, a world where the ghosts of the dead torment the living, a world haunted by the murderer responsible for the deaths in his family—a serial killer who uses the human body to create works of art and takes faces as his prize.

the book used to belong to the Winschoten library (the Netherlands). I found it few years ago in a public library in Legionowo (Poland). I hope I manage to read it - at last! - and release. Maybe in a library?...

Enjoy your reading and help to continue the journey!
