Face Stealer: a Novel Heidi Grunner

Everyone wants what they can't have and Paul Adams is no different. He wishes he had a beautiful face and not the scarred one he was cursed with after a childhood accident. He wants one so badly that it has consumed him. He thinks of nothing else. A brief glance of a beautiful face will haunt him for days, invade his thoughts and control his dreams. Paul thought he could control his urges but he can't. His obsessive personality won't let him and he fears he will lose his mind. He has decided that the only way he can find peace is to possess the very faces that haunt him. He has developed a plan to get close to his victims and a skilled technique to gently slice and peel away their faces. His confidence is building with each face he adds to his collection. The police have no leads and Paul feels unstoppable. He is free to roam the city picking his victims and ending their lives as it suits him. No one knows who he will pick next or when he will decide to harvest again. Two Detroit Police Detectives, Morgan Murphy and Brandon Sims, have been working on the case for months. The case takes a personal turn when someone they are both close to is abducted and tortured. Now Morgan and Brandon must put aside their own fears and catch their killer before another innocent life is lost.
