Faces (Paperback)

How far would you go to become someone you're not?

Lenny Wrench is broke, overlooked, and barely keeping his life together as a plumber in New Jersey. Then he gets an offer he can't afford to refuse: impersonate Louie Spano, a feared mob boss who needs to disappear. It should be simple. Look the part. Talk the part. Play the role long enough to collect his money. But Lenny discovers something he never expected: the Louie Spano identity fits. With a new haircut, an expensive suit, and a reputation built on fear, doors that were always closed to Lenny suddenly open. Powerful men listen. Criminals back down. Respect comes easily when people believe you're dangerous. And the better Lenny gets at playing a mob boss, the harder it becomes to remember where the performance ends and the real man begins. Set against the rain-soaked streets and criminal underworld of New Jersey,
Faces is a hardboiled crime novel blending dark humor, moral tension, and a dangerous game of identity.

Because pretending to be a monster is one thing. Finding out you might be good at it is something else entirely
