Evil Without a Face

And for those who know me, you know that blowing up stuff on paper is a blast for me, especially with the help of my murder and mayhem buddy, weapons expert Joseph Francis Collins, a talented aspiring author. Joe, thanks for being my “tail-end Charlie.” And for the best friend a new author (or anyone) could ever have, I’d like to publicly declare my heartfelt thanks to Charlotte Worsham, owner of the Around the Corner Restaurant in Edmond, Oklahoma, for her unflinching support. When she says she cooks with love, she means it.

Finally, I’d like to thank some special folks in my life. To my husband and best friend, John—you never cease to amaze me. To my family circle—thanks for weathering my influence all these years and keeping me thoroughly entertained. To my agent, Meredith Bernstein—you are a savvy businesswoman with a classic sense of style. But it’s your never-ending appetite for life that I admire most. And to my editor, Lucia Macro, and everyone who contributed to this book from the talented staff at Avon Books/Harper Collins—thanks for your commitment to excellence in all things. You have touched my life and I’m so very grateful and blessed to know you.

About the Author

Avon Books/HarperCollins launched JORDAN DANE’s debut suspense series in a back- to-back publishing event in Spring 2008. Ripped from the headlines, Jordan’s gritty plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue, and dark humor.

Publishers Weekly compared her intense pacing to Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner, and Tami Hoag—romantic suspense that “crosses over into plain thriller country.” Pursuing publication since 2003, she received awards in thirty-three national writing competitions, including her 2005 Golden Heart final.

Formerly an energy sales manager in the oil and gas industry, she is now following her passion to write full time. Jordan and her husband share their residence with an intelligent canine and two cats of highborn lineage. For more, visit www.jordandane.com.
