Expecting to find only a difficult, dreary political investigation in Belgium, Bannerman has barely settled in when tragedy strikes. His host, a fellow journalist, along with a British Cabinet minister, are discovered dead in the minister's elegant Brussels townhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt appears that they have shot each other. But the dead journalist's young autistic daughter, Tania, was hidden in a closet during the killings, and when she draws a chilling picture of a third party--a man with no face--Bannerman suddenly finds himself a reluctant participant in a desperate murder investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the facts slowly begin to emerge under Bannerman's scrutiny, he comes to suspect that the shootings may have a deep and foul link with the rotten politics that brought him to Brussels in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd as Kale threatens to strike again, Bannerman begins to feel a change within himself. His jaded professionalism is transforming into a growing concern for the lonely and frightened Tania, and a strong attraction to a courageous woman named Sally--drawing him out of himself and into the very heart of a profound, cold-blooded, and infinitely dangerous conspiracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth.\" --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45034633134280,"sku":"BKPB10104235","price":11.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/2034\/0168\/files\/The_Man_with_No_Face.jpg?v=1774367069","url":"https:\/\/theblossomingbookshop.com\/products\/the-man-with-no-face","provider":"The Blossoming Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
