Summary: Great read
Comment: I have been a fan of David Lindsey since I was at university. I have read all of his books and this is one of his best. The story never flags and the pace is an adrinaline rush. Other reviewers have summerized the story, a bit exhaustably I might add, but I'll just say that if you like your thriller taunt, well written, and billiantly paced you will love this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Perfect for a weekend read
Comment: Summer's here. If you need a thriller to keep you entranced for a long weekend, "The Face of the Assassin" should be high on your list.
Paul Bern is a forensic artist: he recreates likenesses of the deceased, working from their skulls. A woman brings him a skull and as Bern works on building a face around it, he is troubled. A household accident brings him to see what is so troubling: the face he has reconstructed from the skull is - you guessed it - his own.
By twists and turns, Bern learns that he had a twin brother who met his end in an untimely and unseemly way. A mysterious agent offers Bern the opportunity to track down his brother's killers - or, should he refuse, face an unseemly end of his own life.
Oh yes, a terrorist or two has to be tracked down along the way.
This thriller moves quickly. Bern is believable as are the other major characters. Bern learns the ins-and-outs of spycraft perhaps a bit too easily, but after all, his twin brother was a spy, so perhaps it's genetic. In any event, the minor disconnects aren't enough to keep this from being a thoroughly enjoyable read with a reasonably solid surprise ending.

Summary: 3 1/2 stars
Comment: See storyline above. Preferrably the Booklist review.
As a somewhat avid thriller reader, there was something about this novel that didn't take with me. There was action and some suspense but it seemed to lack the gripping pace and 'pull you in' writing that I come to expect.
This is my first David Lindsey novel. I'm not sure if there will be another.
