Look for my face (2012)

After a violent blast in a Manhattan restaurant owned by a leader of the Russian organized crime, Erin Sohr, a professional photographer who happened to be nearby, begins to take pictures of the bloody chaos. Later on, while she is photo editing, she realizes that one of those images represents an impossible face: Viktor's, a Serbian war criminal who has been dead for several years now.

Erin, convinced that the criminal is still alive, becomes obsessed with him and starts her personal journey into the heart of darkness, in an investigation to reconstruct her on life that leads her to Belgrade, The Hague, Tel Aviv, and back to New York.

Meanwhile, Daniel Isay and Sailesh Mathur, police members of NYC Crime Investigation Department , warned of that hypothetical presence, start a track down and capture operation that leaves a trail of victims and forces them to deal with the most undesirable characters as well as to enter enviromentes as sophisticated as dark.

Simultaneously, Look for my face tells how all those lives are intertwined with the common denominator of Viktor, this fire affects their personal lives, their relations with their partners, in the same way that a piece of iron reacts subjected to flames their own lives acquire infinite gradations. After all, it is also a novel about identity, about the truth proving that, even more than our own desires, our enemies are the ones giving us shape and, therefore, making us feel the need to look within ourselves to shamanically discover what lies behind our masks.

Look for my face also covers other topics such as white slavery, drugs and arms dealing, high-end prostitution, money laundering, tax havens, media propaganda, political corruption, the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the emerging countries, the global presence of Russian mob, state terrorism, the world of fashion and advertising...
