Blindsight

Graduate student Paul has put his dark days behind him. He is only months from marrying his beautiful fiancé when a young woman from his past dies brutally and unexpectedly, the second such death on his university campus. Paul tries to avoid and deny, but is gradually drawn into the mystery of these apparent suicides. As his amateur investigation brings him closer to understanding the crimes of others, he must also confront his own betrayals and lies. Will Paul, a scientist studying visual perception, remain blind to truths about himself, and, as his wedding grows ever closer, will too much truth place his memories of the past and his hopes for the future in jeopardy? Blindsight is an intelligent psychological mystery about love, loss and the lies we tell ourselves. It will appeal to fans of Donna Tarrt's The Secret History who also enjoy some downbeat British grime and humour. 'Impressively relentless...very compelling. Great touches of language and detail.'
