"a tight, compelling mystery involving the deaths of blind people. What begins as a "routine" investigation, leads to one of the strangest journeys for the detectives of the 87th precinct. Full of suspense, mystery, and that spot-on dialogue that Ed Mcbain knows so well."
Ron thibodeau, Resident Scholar
