A riveting crime novel with a speculative edge about the ways our
perceptions of reality can be manipulated.
Seven years ago, everyone in the world went blind in a matter of months.
Technology helped people adjust to the new normal, creating a device
that approximates vision, downloading visual data directly to people's
brains. But what happens when someone finds a way to hack it and change
what people see?
Homicide detective Mark Owens has been on the force since before The
Blinding. When a scientist is murdered, and the only witness insists the
killer was blacked out of her vision, Owens doesn't believe her--until a
similar murder happens in front of him. With suspects ranging from tech
billionaires to anti-modernity cultists--and with the bodies piling
up--Owens must conduct an investigation in which he can't even trust his
own eyes.
Thomas Mullen, the acclaimed author of Darktown and The Last Town on
Earth, delivers an unputdownable crime novel about one man's search for
truth in a world of surveillance and disinformation that's all too
recognizable.
