Book description
John Verdon returns with Shut Your Eyes Tight, the second
book by in the David Gurney series.
Once a cop. Always a cop . . .
Ex-NYPD detective Dave Gurney is supposed to be retired. But people
with problems keep knocking on his door. Like the police, for
instance, who are baffled by a gruesome murder they just can't seem to solve.
A young bride has been killed in the middle of her own wedding
reception. The prime suspect - her new husband's Mexican gardener - is
missing. As is the murder weapon - likely a machete - used to
decapitate the bride.
The police have drawn a blank. It's as if the killer has vanished
into thin air. But when Gurney begins his investigations, he finds
that a baffling murder is just the latest of many sadistic crimes
committed by an individual who'll do anything to avoid capture.
Following the success of Think of a Number, John Verdon's
stunning follow-up novel, Shut Your Eyes Tight is just
as scintillating. Fans of Tess Gerritsen and James Hayman will love
this series.
Praise for John Verdon:
'The best thriller I've read in a long, long time' Tess Gerritsen
'Wow! Totally absorbing, brilliantly written. The best book I've
read this year' The Sun
