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.
