Book Review By lisa demayo
Face of Fear by Dean Koontz

This book is a real "page-turner"; I was hooked within the first chapter. It is a story about a clairvoyant who aids the police in homicide cases; He sees the faces of the victims. Except that one day, he sees his own face as the victim. Who is the killer? Can he change his fate? read and find out!
