The most trusted faces in the country were all cut from the same mold. Mara Vance is the only person alive who can see it.
In a near-future London where the register vouches for every face and no one is allowed to doubt it, forensic authenticator Mara Vance follows the safe future's most beloved public man to a horror she cannot un-see. He was never born. He was made. And he is not the only one.
The donors, the regulators, the trusted faces carrying the vote were cut from a single stolen mold, minted in a clinic in the dark, and welcomed into the register at the root, where a real examiner once looked at each of them and swore, in a real and certain hand, that they were genuine.
To expose the factory, Mara will have to go down into the deepest dark to find the door where people are unmade, restrain a friend who wants to burn it all open too soon, and reckon with a discipline in the maker's work that she knows from the one place she has never let herself look. Because the oldest of the manufactured faces was signed real years ago, and the signature at the bottom of it is hers.
She can prove the faces are fake. She is about to learn that she is the reason the world ever believed them.
THE PAPER DONOR is the third novel in PROVENANCE, a surveillance-noir thriller series for readers of Blake Crouch, John le Carré, and the world of Minority Report.
