Faces and Fingertips Jeff Schober

Trapped by isolation... Ken Connell is a former Buffalo detective who has lost everything: his wife, his job, even his striking good looks, thanks to a shotgun blast that punctured his neck. These days he investigates insurance fraud, reminisces about the woman he loved, and dreams of moving south, while convinced he is being followed. R. J. Sorrentino has always lived on the fringe. He was angry before leaving for Vietnam and grew angrier when he returned. He's a survivor; yet lately, surviving isn't enough. His one chance at redemption is his ability to draw. Now working as a police sketch artist, a grisly discovery twists him back into uncertainty. Laura Pantera inhabits a world that looks different from everyone else's. Her cheating husband is gone, and she's haunted by a painful childhood. Days are long and nights turn surreal when she plunges into an abyss. Yet a mysterious neighbor mat just provide a lifeline to happiness... FACES AND FINGERTIPS may be read a stand-alone novel, continuing characters introduced in BROKEN AND PROFANE and BONESHAKER. When these lonely souls converge, results are hopeful, electric, and sometimes heartbreaking.
