The Faces of Angels

An American art student and newlywed named Mary Warren is brutally attacked in Florence, and her husband is murdered. The killer is identified, caught, and dies within months. Two years later, Mary returns to Florence at the invitation of her lover, a relationship that existed before the attack. As she navigates the city's beauty and decay, she begins to notice a disturbing pattern: young women are being killed in ways that echo her husband's murder. Mary must confront a terrifying question—either a copycat killer is at work, or her husband's original murderer never actually died. This Edgar Award–winning mystery explores Mary's struggle as she tries to determine the truth while suspicion falls on everyone around her.
