Faces
How long can a decent man pretend to be a monster before the monster starts answering to his name?
NOIR CRIME DARKHUMOR IDENTITY MORAL EROSION
T H E S T O R Y
In rain-slick New Jersey, broke plumber Lenny Wrench is handed the dirtiest job of his life: become Louie Spano, a mob boss desperate to disappear. With the right haircut, suit, and borrowed contempt, Lenny can fool the right people for the right price. But the act pays too well. Doors open. Men listen. Fear bends toward him. And every day he wears Louie's face, more of Lenny disappears.
Hardboiled, darkly funny, and morally bruised, Faces follows an ordinary man who learns that wearing another man's face can open every door — and make it impossible to find the way back to his own. As Louie flees, Frank Barletta's brutal enforcement, Nico Bellafonte's territorial ambitions, and an FBI investigation closing from every side force Lenny deeper into a criminal life he swore he was only pretending to understand.

Revenge For What Is Sacred
For some, religion is not faith at all — it is camouflage, a holy mask worn to hide a raw hunger for power. Mukhtar Sheik Mohammed
