As he tries to adjust, while grieving, everything is changed, so fresh, so vivid. The new light in his life is tainted by loss. It’s the second time Joshua has had a father die being a hero. Shot with a nail gun and tossed from the fourth floor. He was killed in the line of duty, trying to corral a sadistic killer at a building site. Light streams into the teenager’s world because Detective Inspector Mitchell Logan donated his eyes to his blind child.ĭetective Logan doesn’t need them anymore. When the bandages come off at Christchurch Hospital and shapes and light start filtering into Joshua’s consciousness after years of darkness, it is because of a gift from the man Joshua calls his father. Not in an ancestry sense either, where similar curves, hues, and any future need for reading glasses has been passed like a genetic baton from generation to generation. Not in the figurative “Oh, you look so much like your father” sense that well-meaning relatives and family friends might utter while ruffling your hair at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other extended get-togethers. Thriller connoisseur Paul Cleave is back with another riveting story of hidden secrets and unspeakable horrors that will keep you guessing until the very last page.Inspired by a lunchtime conversation, award-winning author Paul Cleave’s latest thriller blends magic realism with the darker edge of crime fiction

Joshua soon discovers a world darker than the one he has emerged from. There are consequences to the secret life his father was living, including the wrath of a man hell bent on killing, a man who is drawing closer and closer to Joshua. What exactly was his dad up to in his role as a police officer?

As Joshua navigates a world of sight, he gets glimpses of what these eyes might have witnessed in their previous life. Joshua is handed an opportunity he can't refuse: an operation that will allow him to see the world through his father's eyes. It's taken loved ones from him, it's robbed him of his eyesight, and it's the reason why his father is killed while investigating the homicide of a young woman.

Joshua is convinced there is a family curse. A new thriller from the Edgar-nominated author of Trust No One and Joe Victim about a blind teenager who receives a corneal donation and begins to see and feel memories from their previous owner-a homicide detective who was also his father.
