false <![CDATA[La Mort en Face]]> 184794 20 A June 2007 Significant Seven Editors' Pick: Don't let the title fool you. Cody McFadyen's The Face of Death is not just another scary-as-hell serial killer novel (although it is that in spades). Drawing a chilling portrait of a child stalked by a serial killer seeking revenge, McFadyen's second novel is surprisingly moving, standing out in an already packed genre by focusing on victim Sarah Langstrom and her struggle to survive. McFadyen knocked our socks off with his first book Shadow Man, but this arguably better sequel gives readers more time with Special Agent Smoky Barrett (Harris fans should imagine a stronger, more deeply scarred Clarice Starling). Barrett is a remarkable character--a ferocious survivor and reluctant heroine who only realizes her true potential in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Shocking, gruesome, and terrifying as it may be, the big kicker of this second novel is that it may also move you to tears. Easily one of my favorite thrillers of the year so far, The Face of Death is a perfect book for fans of Deaver, Koontz and King. But don't let me convince you, have a gander at the first chapter and decide for yourself. --Daphne Durham 2725701 29 5 2007 The Face of Death total:193|5:79|4:71|3:33|2:9|1:1| 193 797 343 58 5 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 18:37:23 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 11:22:45 -0800 2009 I'm generally turned off by boks and movites that have gratuitous violance/blood and guts in them that isn't supported by a great plot an...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 13:11:35 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 13:12:09 -0800 2008

This is the second novel to feature FBI agent Smoky Barrett, and I recommend that new readers start with ‘Shadow Man’ as this will provide useful information about Smoky and her team.
