Blind Eye Book

Scottish crime writing sensation, Stuart MacBride has done it again with his latest gripping thriller 'Blind Eye'. This intelligently written book is bleak, gut-churning and brutal, but has a streak of dark humour running through its core which makes it engaging and hard to put down. In Grampian Police Headquarters the atmosphere is low and hangs like a heavy mist, not even the summer's sun can pierce through and lighten the mood. Aberdeen's vibrant Polish community is being hunted by a repeat offender who mutilates and his disfigures his victims, gouging out their eyes before dumping them on a building site. It's the job of Sergeant Logan McRae to solve the case, aptly named 'Operation Oedipus' but the investigation slow, as the local community is too scared to talk, afraid that if they do, they may be next. The next victim found, curiously does not fit with the usual victim profile and turns out to be the owner of the local Turf n' Track bookies. Logan follows the few leads he has, but suddenly finds himself mixed-up in an underground world of gun crime, prostitution and drug wars, which circle around Aberdeen's most feared and ferocious crime lord.
