Books like Face of a killer by Robin Burcell

Two decades after the murder that shattered her life, Sydney Fitzpatrick, a skilled FBI forensic artist, is thrust back into the case when the killer is sentenced to death in San Francisco. As she prepares to bring the inmate to the gallows, she receives a haunting photograph, sent by a suicide victim, that forces her to question her memories of her father’s death. Sydney’s investigation pulls her deeper into a web of family secrets and official intrigue, placing her at odds with both law‑makers and the men who buried the past. With the FBI’s protection evaporating, she must decide how far she will go to uncover the truth – even if that means walking against her own government. A tense blend of suspense, mystery, and psychological drama, "Face of a Killer" follows one woman’s desperate pursuit of justice in a system that may be complicit in her pain.
