    About this ebook

    John Cray has a secret. For twelve years he has stalked and kidnapped women, setting them loose in the mountains of eastern Arizona, hunting them like animals, and taking their lives. He has left no clues. He is suspected by no one. Or so he thinks.

    But now he has a problem. Somebody - a woman whose name he doesn't know - is stalking him.

    She follows him when he makes his nightly rounds in Tucson. She watches him on busy streetcorners and in shadowy restaurants. She seems to know his secret. But if so, why hasn't she gone to the police?

    Cray plans to turn the tables on his mysterious pursuer. He will become the predator, and she - the prey. Once she's in his power, she will tell him who she is and what she's after. And then she will die.

    But even Cray isn't prepared to confront the truth when he discovers it - or to deal with the shattering implications of a past he had thought long buried and an obsessive madness he cannot control ...

    "Stealing Faces is truly thrilling as well as chilling: I could not put this book down. Reading the first few chapters of this tale is like reading the climax for most thrillers and the excitement just keeps building. Michael Prescott knows how to keep readers' eyes glued to his pages.... I was completely hooked. Actually, more than completely hooked, I thought the lightning-paced thrills were going to give me a heart attack!" - Judith Flavell, The Mystery Reader

      The author, Michael Prescott, is exceptional at building tension. This is a riveting thriller that kept me in suspense right up to the very end. Stealing Faces is definitely not for the squeamish. After reading the prologue, I was not sure I could continue, but am glad I did. The novel is set in Arizona, and refreshingly, the killer, a published author and psychiatrist, is revealed in the first chapter. Another unusual aspect to the novel is that the detective is only introduced a third of the way into the book. Twists and turns abound, as the predator hunts the prey and the tragic backstory is revealed.Stealing Faces is an easy, fast read that's sure to please.
    • 4/5
      If you like stories where the weak and helpless overcome hopeless odds and win out through persistence, daring and just good luck, then this book is for you. Some details are gruesome and certainly not for young children, the tale is likely what would be expected to describe long term serial killers with a little custom depravity. If you enjoy periods of tense, edge of the chair suspense and lots of action, pull up a chair and enjoy a few hours of chills and terror.

      For those readers who enjoy a good thriller, Stealing Faces by Michael Prescott definitely fills the bill.Women are going missing. One of the woman is found with her face cut away, and only one person knows what's happening. That person is Kaylie McMillan, a woman on the run for the last twelve years after an unprecedented escape from a mental institution where she was held after the murder of her husband.Dr. John Cray, the Director of the institution and her therapist during her time there, suddenly finds himself being stalked and realizes that it's Kaylie, the same girl he treated years ago. He has an unhealthy interest in finding Kaylie again, but it's not necessarily to bring her back for treatment.Who is hunting who and which person will be the ultimate victor in this dangerous game?Great read.
    • 3/5
      I understand why the witness main character had been on the run for so long, but deciding to track down and kill the killer herself was just never going to work out. The story had fascinating elements, but the actions of the character did not ring true for me.
