description: Novel by Marilyn Sharp,who is called a "first-rate novelist" by The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and whose bestselling thriller SUNFLOWER introduced top CIA agent Richard Owen. This time Owen must put his considerable skill and sheer cunning to the ultimate test. Searching for clues leaked to him by a master assassin known only as Michelangelo, Owen is taken hostage along with a group of congressmen in the ancient ruins of Uxma1 in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Aided by the intrepid Emma Thatcher-a brilliant agent with a ballerina's body-Owen must piece together a puzzle that never lets up. It starts with the disappearance of Thomas Jefferson's portrait from the White House, spins by a sinister pair of ski boots, and seethes with motives true and false-from strange rumblings in the caves near the Pyramid of the Magician to quiet terror in the highest-tech realms of the U.S. Government. FALSEFACE marks the continuing excitement of a sensational talent.
