Synopsis: 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 Falcón 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 Falcón 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 journal—and 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 Award–winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
