Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. terrific story, terrific protagonist, poor editing and incorrect use of names of body parts, which was distracting ( ) A long time reader of my booklist finally sent me a note last weekend. Bill MacDonald recommended three books to me. His note even included a paragraph about why I should read them. Here's what he said about Mercy: "This is set in sweltering Houston where a female police officer is investigating a series of murders. All the victims were upper class ladies who had paid for S&M services. I could not put this down. I've recommended this novel to two female friends and they both enjoyed it." I'll match his recommendation and raise him one Read This One! This is possibly the best book I've read in a long, long time. It is intricate and fascinating and gruesome and amazing. It is also long which is great. I love to be in the middle of a great book and know I've still got hours and hours of great reading ahead. I picked up a couple of Lindsey's other books and can't wait to get to them! In The Face of the Assassin, forensic sculptor Paul Bern works on reconstructing a face that is brought to him under unusual circumstances. This begins the process of Bern immersing himself in the world of espionage and terrorism. He impersonates his twin brother, a CIA agent who had recently been killed, and goes into the underworld of Mexico City on a mission to capture the world’s most dangerous terrorist. He has to go through Mexican gangsters in the process, including a man with his face torn off. This is a novel that is loaded with action and a strong plot. There is intrigue throughout and a number of twists and turns, especially at the end of the novel. David Lindsey shows exceptional skill as a writer and knows how to keep the reader engaged in the novel. I would strongly recommend this action thriller.
