The Blind Man of Seville

Detective Inspector Javier Falcon is transfixed by the brutalized face of murder victim Raul Jimenez in his Seville apartment. On his shirtfront, littered like exotic petals, are the man's eyelids, and so the victim's relentless horror becomes the beginning of Falcon's own.
An old photograph at the murder scene prompts Falcon to read a set of journals left by his famous father, the artist Fransisco Falcon. He discovers that he'd never known the father he'd always loved, and as the case unfolds, Falcon's mind unravels as all the old certainties are undermined. More victims fall but neither the evidence nor the secrets of the victims' lives give Falcon the vital breakthrough he needs. The pieces of the puzzle finally fall together when Falcon finds the missing section of his father's journals--and becomes the killer's next intended victim.
With "The Blind Man of Seville," Robert Wilson's unparalleled combination
