New Faces for Sale!
7 pp · crime

A brilliant young medical student with a gift for surgery makes one desperate mistake—stealing drugs to impress a girl—and watches his entire future collapse in a single violent moment. Cast out from legitimate medicine and hardened by years in prison, Lex Jordon discovers he can still practice his craft in the criminal underworld, using his surgical skills to alter the faces and fingerprints of wanted fugitives. But freedom on the run proves a different kind of cage, as pressure from both the law and his gangland employers steadily erodes the steady hands and sharper mind that once defined him.

Now hunted by both the mob and the F.B.I., Vaughan flees from city to city, hoping to stay alive and ahead of those he's wronged.

As the law closes in and Il Diavolo's grip tightens, Onslow finds himself trapped between a detective determined to crack the case and a criminal mastermind who brooks no loose ends.
