About the book: 2017 / At a charity evening in Chicago, the young artist Amanda LeBlanc meets the respected Hennings family in the city. She undertakes to select paintings for the new apartment of their eldest son David. Here, at dinner, Detective McCall asks Amanda to recreate the face of an unsolved murder victim from the skull, because Amanda’s mother did similar work. After Amanda agrees to help the police, and David falls recklessly in love with her, changes begin in the girl’s life, not always pleasant: her house is sealed, her accounts are frozen, a cast of her skull is stolen, her paintings are destroyed. Amanda and David understand that there is a criminal behind all this.
