EYES WITHOUT A FACE

“A female serial killer…is so rare as to be instantly noteworthy.” — John Douglas and Mark Olshanker, Mindhunter

“A disturbing but enjoyable read” — Diane Fanning, New York Times Best Selling Crime Writer

It’s often said the female is the deadlier sex. In this case, she is.

In college, this unnamed narrator finds her true calling in life: she kills her first victim.

She doesn’t have a neon sign overhead stating, “Warning! Serial killer!” She delights in her secret knowledge that her role as a killer separates her from the people around her. She kills up close and personal, because she wants her victims to know they are about to die. In spite of this, she only kills people she thinks do not deserve to live.

Can she kill with impunity or will she be caught?

Competent, smart, and attractive, the girl next door, the kind of girl you want your son to meet, but that would be a mistake. A girl that deals with justice and death and enjoys dishing both out. You may think you know her; her family did. They were wrong. — M.C. Young, NO ONE HAS OR EVER WILL
