The False Faces: Further Adventures from the History of the Lone Wolf

He crawls through No Man's Land like a thing reborn from death itself. The artillery has stopped. The screams have faded. Only the Lone Wolf remains, dragging himself into the British trenches with information that could save thousands and a hunger that could destroy him. Michael Lanyard was done with crime. He had his Lucy, his child, his fresh start. Then the German army came to Belgium, and the man called Ekstrom took everything. Now Lanyard hunts his nemesis across every battlefield in Europe, from the mud of the Western Front to the secret heart of New York City. He is a master thief playing at spy, a man who knows every trick of deception yet cannot hide his own past. Each step closer to Ekstrom brings new danger: torpedoed ships, double-crossing agents, a woman whose loyalty remains uncertain. The Lone Wolf's reputation precedes him everywhere, and in a world at war, a man with no country is the most dangerous creature alive. This is pulp adventure at its finest, dense with double agents, narrow escapes, and the grim poetry of vengeance. For readers who want their thrillers period-raw and their heroes fatally flawed.
