Blind Man of Seville

A Spanish detective investigates a series of grisly killings in a crime thriller that maintains ';an almost unbearable pitch of excitement' (Booklist). Called to a gruesome crime scene, Inspector Javier Falcon is shocked and sickened by what he finds there. Strewn like flower petals on the victim's shirt are the man's own eyelids, evidence of a heinous crime with no obvious motive. When the investigation leads Falcon to read his late father's journals, he discovers a disturbing and sordid past. Meanwhile, more victims are falling. While he struggles to solve the case, he comes across a missing section of his father's journaland becomes the murderer's next intended victim. Combining suspenseful storytelling with a thoughtful exploration of the human psyche, The Blind Man of Seville is a terrifying and ';consistently stunning' police procedural from the Gold Dagger Awardwinning author of A Small Death in Lisbon (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
