From Booklist
Three young people are found butchered in rural Washington State. To FBI agent Russell Montgomery, it is unmistakably the work of Calvin Peter Bryant, aka the Prince of Darkness, assumed to have been killed by Montgomery himself. Bryant, it turns out, has been saved by the Madison Virginia Facial and Cranial Center, whose surgeons have been working for the CIA, building new faces for serial killers, who are then assigned to do off-the-record assassinations. The paths of the Prince, agent Montgomery, a staffer from the center, and an ex-con drifter named Bobby Preston are about to converge in a violent series of events that will leave even the survivors with scars that no doctor can erase. Vance takes the standard psycho-killer format and adds a frightening twist with the new-identity factor. The killer walks among all the principals, but we don't know who he is until the last few pages. Character takes a back seat to plot here, but the frenetic action will keep readers guessing until the final chapter. Wes Lukowsky
