Prove the Nameless

Owen Keane, dubbed one of the 'freshest, most appealing figures in crime fiction' by the Philadelphia Inquirer, makes his fifth appearance in Terence Faherty's acclaimed series. While working for an Atlantic City newspaper, Keane is asked to investigate a twenty-year-old multiple homicide that claimed all but one member of a prominent local family. Keane's client is the sole survivor, a baby at the time of the killings and now a lost member of Generation X, as haunted by her unexplained escape as she is by the faceless threat that still hangs over her.In a story that evokes Faherty's Edgar-nominated debut, DEADSTICK, Keane journeys into the past, uncovering a complex and dangerous trail of altered identities and secret guilt. His search leads Keane to a dual confrontation, as he must face both the murderer and his long-held fears.At once thoughtful and startling, PROVE THE NAMELESS confirms Terence Faherty's status as one of the mystery genre's most unusual and provocative writers. 3
