Mystery • Psychological Thriller THE WOMAN WITH MY FACE
Elena Ward knows her own face. So when she sees a woman standing across the street who looks exactly like her—same eyes, same height, even the same tiny scar above her eyebrow—she knows it isn't a coincidence. Elena follows her. The woman disappears. Then people begin remembering a version of Elena that Elena has never been. A hotel receptionist insists she stayed there three nights ago. A restaurant manager accuses her of walking out without paying. A married man angrily demands to know why she has stopped answering his calls. Elena has never met any of them. But they have photographs. Signatures. Messages. Proof. And every piece of evidence points to her. Things become terrifying when security footage shows the mysterious woman entering Elena's apartment building while Elena was verifiably at work. Using Elena's key. Someone isn't simply impersonating her. Someone has been quietly constructing an entire second life in her name—opening accounts, creating relationships, altering records, and inserting herself into places Elena has never been. Even Elena's medical history is no longer entirely her own. But the most frightening discovery comes when the woman begins revealing details about Elena's childhood that Elena herself cannot remember. Memories that should belong to no one else. Before Elena can uncover the truth, a man is murdered. Witnesses identify Elena. The evidence places her at the scene. And suddenly Elena isn't just searching for the woman wearing her face. She's trying to prove that she isn't her. With the police closing in and pieces of her own past beginning to contradict everything she believed about herself, Elena must uncover who created the second Elena—and why—before the woman with her face takes the final thing Elena has left. Her life. A psychological mystery thriller about stolen identity, buried memories, murder, and one woman's terrifying discovery that the person destroying her life may know her better than she knows herself.

The Mafia world knows her only by the bodies she leaves behind. No one knows her real name. No one has clearly seen her face. For years, powerful men have whispered about a mysterious assassin they call The Girl Behind the Gun—a woman who appears without warning, never misses, and disappears before anyone can understand what happened. But she does not kill for money. She kills from a list. Every name on that list supposedly belongs to someone responsible for the massacre that destroyed her family when she was a child. The list was given to her by the only man she has ever trusted—the man who rescued her, raised her, trained her, and taught her how to survive in a world ruled by blood and power. For years, she has believed every word he told her. Until one target recognizes her. One name from a past she was told no longer existed begins to unravel everything. As she secretly investigates the night her family died, she discovers missing records, conflicting stories, surviving enemies, buried witnesses, and evidence that some of the people she killed may not have been responsible at all. Someone has been using her. Someone turned her grief into a weapon. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the question becomes: Did the man who raised her save her from the massacre—or did he steal the only survivor and turn her into the perfect killer? Now the most feared assassin in the Mafia world must uncover the truth before the people behind her family's destruction realize that The Girl Behind the Gun has finally stopped following orders.

Nadia Rowan, twenty-nine, is one of the most respected digital-forensic analysts in Alder City. Her specialty is proving whether electronic evidence is authentic. She has built her career on the belief that data leaves traces and that the truth, however damaged, can be reconstructed. Then Judge Malcolm Avery is murdered. Within hours, the case against Nadia becomes almost impossibly complete. Security footage shows her entering Avery's home. Her fingerprints are recovered from the murder weapon. Her DNA is found at the scene. Her phone appears to travel with the killer. A transfer arrives in her bank account from a company connected to a case before Avery. Messages show her threatening him. Investigators recover a video confession in Nadia's own face and voice containing details the police have not released. Nadia insists every piece of evidence has been manufactured. That defense makes her look worse: if anyone could build fabricated digital evidence sophisticated enough to deceive experts, it would be her. Assistant District Attorney Ethan Cole prosecutes the case. He is not corrupt, foolish, or secretly sympathetic. He studies the evidence, believes it, defeats Nadia's defense, and helps send her to prison. Months after her conviction, another high-profile victim is murdered. Nadia's DNA, biometrics, device records, and face appear again. The new evidence says she committed this murder too. But the murder occurs while Ethan is personally standing across from Nadia inside a maximum-security prison. That impossible fact becomes the hinge of the entire novel. Ethan must decide whether to protect the conviction that made his career or reopen the case he once believed was airtight. Nadia must decide whether the man who destroyed her freedom can ever become useful, trustworthy, or eventually something more.
