15.8 - Rogues' Gallery
The rogues' gallery is a collection of photographs of known criminals and suspects kept and used by police to identify people taken into custody. Help create an SRC rogues' gallery by reading a book with the MPG Mystery, Thriller, or Suspense that has a portrait on the cover. For the purposes of this task, a portrait is defined as a painting, drawing, or photograph of a person depicting only the face or the face as well as the head and shoulders. There may be only one person on the cover; at least one eye (or the presumption of one), a nose, and a mouth must be visible; and nothing below the waist can be showing.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when you post. Ex:
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica Like Never and Always by Ann Aguirre Deadly Cool (Deadly Cool, #1) by Gemma Halliday Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, #1) by Jeff Lindsay Trust Me, I'm Lying (Trust Me, #1) by Mary Elizabeth Summer Mindhunter Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Edward Douglas Don't Look Away by Leslie Parrish

Nicole | 1295 comments Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5) by J.K. Rowling
Wanted to be sure this counts since it's tricky to determine the waist on a drawing :)

The portrait part of the book isn't a problem, but the book must also have the MPG Mystery, Thriller, or Suspense. So, no, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix won't work.

Yes, that works as a portrait and genre noted.

It's going to be rather difficult for the police to identify someone taken into custody if the person's face isn't showing! So, no, unfortunately, that's not going to work.

The only one that will NOT work is Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay (see above).

Elaine Making sure enough of the face is visible to count and to get the MPG noted if the cover works. Thanks!

Unfortunately, that won't work. The portrait artist needs at least a hint of eyes, nose, and mouth, even if they're in shadow. Just the eyes isn't enough to go on.

The portrait is fine, but it doesn't have the MPG of Mystery, Thriller, or Suspense. So, no, it won't work.
