Flesh and Stone, by Mark Miano

This is the second Mark Miano book I have read, featuring Michael Carpo. There is only one other book by him that I know of. Michael Carpo is a newswriter for Channel 8 News in New York City. A prominent art dealer is found frozen under the ice in Central Park, his face surgically carved into a scream. When Michael finds out that the murder victim was close to his ex-girlfriend, Karen, he meets up with her again for the first time in the six years since they had separated. Karen is a suspect in a fake sculpture scandal, but Michael cannot help having feelings for her once again. As Michael hunts down the killer he finds that Karen is more linked to the crime than he had first believed. He breaks into the suspected killer's barn & comes face to face with him, but not until after finding a ton of evidence. After escaping a near-fatal experience, he races back to the museum where Karen works to try & save her from the killer. This book was quite good, but I do think I enjoyed "The Street Where She Lived" a little bit better.
