Title: The Face of the Assassin

Author: David Lindsey

KDL Description:

A mysterious woman bearing a human skull and a terrifying story draws Texas forensic artist Paul Bern into a relentless and deadly conspiracy involving a clandestine U.S. intelligence operation in Mexico City’s underworld, a dark family secret, a dangerous terrorist, and a plot in which the future of thousands of innocent people is at stake.

Amazon Description:

The faceless are Paul Bern’s business. As a forensic artist in Austin, Texas, Paul painstakingly reconstructs the likenesses of unfortunate souls whose features have been obliterated by crime or accident. As macabre as his vocation may be, it has become a comfortable and lucrative routine — until the day a mysterious woman arrives at his studio. The visitor brings two gifts. The first is a human skull she has smuggled out of Mexico. The second is a staggering secret that brings him eyeball to eyeball with a past he never knew he had.

Suddenly, Paul’s own government blackmails him into cooperating in a clandestine mission against a Middle Eastern terrorist group that has made the drug jungles of South America its staging ground. By using his own face as bait to lure the enemy, he will become all too intimate with the underworld of violence that he seeks to destroy, while thousands of lives hang in the balance of his intricate and dangerous deception.
