Lillian Price is a woman of calculated duality. By day, she is a polished art advisor in New York's elite circles. By night, she slips into shadows as a phantom thief, stealing masterpieces in a dangerous dance with control and adrenaline. She wears many masks-and believes she is the master of them all. But her carefully constructed world collapses when she encounters Orpheus-a ghost operative more cunning and ruthless than anyone she has ever faced.
Armed with the Uttero Mask, a cursed Japanese relic that transforms its wearer into a flawless replica of any target, Orpheus doesn't just steal faces. He steals entire lives. And his chosen victim is Lillian. Gaslit into madness, forced to watch "herself" commit murder, and condemned to a supermax prison for crimes she didn't commit, Lillian is stripped of everything-her freedom, her identity, her very name.
Yet from the ashes, under the brutal tutelage of an ex-KGB matriarch, she forges something new: a deadlier self, built for one purpose alone. Revenge. Her hunt takes her across the globe-from FBI black sites to hidden Kyoto shrines-unraveling the dark history of the mask and the state-sponsored monster who wields it. But her final confrontation with Orpheus will not be a battle of brute force. It will be a high-stakes duel of identity and deception, where one wrong move means annihilation.
The Mask of a Thousand Faces is a sleek, pulse-pounding psychological thriller about power, obsession, and the fragility of self. Perfect for fans of cerebral espionage, seductive noir, and thrillers laced with the supernatural.
