Face of the Enemy (2012) is a WWII mystery co-authored by Beverle Graves Myers and Joanne Dobson. Set in New York City just after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the story follows a nurse and a homicide detective investigating a murder amid wartime fear and anti-Japanese sentiment.
The book is a departure from Myers’s baroque Venice mysteries. The 1941 New York setting and wartime themes give it a different tone, though Myers’s interest in how historical pressures shape people’s choices carries over from the Tito Amato books.
