Engaging...truly different. Once You start reading--you CAN'T stop! The author blends a rare medical disorder --heart-wrenching-realism into this page turning crime mystery drama.
I've never in my life met a person who suffers with prosopagnosia, (or face blindness), but this story sure had me curious. I looked up more information about this disorder to discover that 2 percent of the population suffer with it.
I'm surprised I haven't seen an Oprah show on this subject.

Dee Wells is about to open her own art gallery and make her dreams come true, when she is brutally attacked.

No longer being able to recognize anyone, she starts to spiral into paranoia – who can she trus...more
A good murder mystery centered around a beautiful portrait artist who after being attacked and her boyfriend killed, develops prosopagnosia, a condition in which one is unable to discern faces while all other details remain intact. Interesting twist on a crime novel.
I better like it. I wrote it. :-)

This is under sci fi, why I do not know. Interesting but confusing and the further you read the more confusing it gets. Confusing a sci fi book does not make. Does that sound silly, well I didnt really write that because I'm not really who you think I am, or am I. Only the book knows...
