This review is from: The Scarred Man (Linford Mystery Library) (Paperback)

John Craig just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He'd been despondent since Gloria's death. Communications were virtually at a standstill concerning her murder, but John knew her attackers. He was a marked man and would hold the killers responsible. In the bar, he'd been approached by a fair-haired woman who wanted to tell him something, but he was in no shape to listen to anyone. The bartender asked if she was making a nuisance of herself, but John didn't pursue her and simply said, "She mistook me for somebody else, that's all."

As he left to walk to his car parked a few streets off, he saw two men struggling with the woman from the bar. She was lashing out with her feet and wriggling like a wild cat. When he went to her aid, Cyril used his knife on John's face. He was a handsome man, like a young William Charles Ross (even the same eyes), but now he became known as the scarred man. He avoided people as he was proud of his good looks previously; she had the internal scars, while his were external on display for all to see. He became disfigured in more than his facial scars. Vengeance was his, and so he created a new identity to succeed in his retribution, "Assassin Dies in Gun Battle." Now he could live with himself and his altered appearance. It's what is on the inside of a person which matters. Not all of us are beautiful on the exterior, just some of us.
