Official synopsis Publisher
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.
