The Eyes of Addicts: A Watchtower Thriller
Unfinished business must be settled.From multiple award-winning and Amazon best-selling political thriller Mikael Carlson, this third sequel to The Eyes of Others is an action-packed political thriller featuring a real-life superhero with the power of knowing someone's deepest, darkest secrets by accessing their traumatic memories.
The Eyes of Addicts follows five people navigating the scourge that is the fentanyl epidemic. Agendas clash, and long-hidden secrets are uncovered as the Watchtower team tries to save itself and finish what they started. Will a shady shipping magnate continue to poison the city, or can a man who sees other people’s memories find the motivation to take down a fentanyl cartel by seeing through The Eyes of Addicts?
"Boston" Hollinger is part Jason Bourne, part Jack Reacher, and he's putting his special skills to work. The Watchtower Thrillers can be read as stand-alone novels, however, readers may find more enjoyment of the story by reading the novels in the order they were written.
Even great liars can't hide from their own memories.Tomasso Trillo has been dealt with in the most permanent of ways, but John Prock is still running his shipping company and a fentanyl manufacturing operation on the side. Justice may be blind, but it’s also willing to let a murderer roam free without repercussions – except when Boston Hollinger makes him a priority target. But he isn’t the only man with someone in his crosshairs.
NYPD Detective Dave Jarett lost his daughter to a fentanyl overdose and has been on a crusade ever since. Desperate for results, he’s about to take matters into his own hands when a chance encounter gives him a unique opportunity to fulfill a promise. The angst and death that follow threaten to undo his progress, but is he willing to risk everything for vengeance?
While the team finishes this mission, internal politics threatens Watchtower – and Boston’s life. His gift is feared by the man in charge of the group, who sends one of its own to silence him for good. But there is more to the assassin they sent than meets the eye. Can they turn “Chicago” into the newest team member, or does this newcomer have something far more sinister in mind?
With a strong psychological thriller component, this crime thriller features a protagonist who is the closest thing to a real-life superhero. If stories with twists and turns that keep you guessing, you’ll enjoy reading Watchtower novels late into the night!

Mikael Carlson delivers another strong story in this high-impact political thriller series. This one ties up loose ends from the last book and looks into the world of drug trafficking, as well as the scourge of fentanyl. Carlson examines the issues from all sides, leaving the reader with multiple perspectives on the situation. The Watchtower Group is still reeling from the last case and it is clear leadership wants to dismantle them, or at least replace members with those who are more willing to defer to those with power. Boston Hettinger is at the centre of it all, a weapon with his telepathic abilities, but also a detriment and loose end that might need to be snipped. Mikael Carlson wraps up the series with an impactful book that pulls no punches.
The novel tackles the bold and troubling scourge that is the fentanyl epidemic. The Watchtower Group was able to put away Tomasso Trillo and his duplicitous ways in a recent case, but there is a loose string in the form of John Prock. He has stepped up to keep running the shipping company and a fentanyl manufacturing operation that Trillo had perfected, thereby creating a massive problem. While fentanyl is finding its way onto the streets of US cities, it is the devastation New York that resonates most strongly for Watchtower at present.
One of their members, Boston Hollinger, is a weapon both for and against their success. His ability to tap into the memories of anyone around him permits Hollinger to focus his attention on finding Prock and shutting down the fentanyl operation. However, there are other cogs in the wheel that are ensuring success. Hollinger races to get answers and bring this evil man to justice for all he has done and keeps doing by placing drugs in the hands of the vulnerable.
NYPD Detective Dave Jarett finds himself connecting with Watchtower because of some highly personal experiences with fentanyl. While Detective Jarett cannot ensure results, he is an in needed to crack the case wide open and provides access that would not otherwise be available without much red tape.
There are whispers about Watchtower’s future, both due to the politics and effective use of their skills. Boston has an added target painted on his back, making him a potential threat to some and leaving his extermination as an option for those pulling the levers. The case might be wrapping up, but the danger is just percolating, creating a final mission that could be deadly. Carlson crafts a wonderful series finale to keep fans on their toes.
Mikael Carlson impressed me with his political thriller writing, flavouring things with police procedural angles. The narrative proves tense, with a solid story that educates the reader throughout the journey. Carlson captures a sense of struggle that keeps the reader raising many questions. The characters provide a look into the world of drug trafficking and the ease with which the US border permits entrance of illegal substances. The chapters are short and to the point, propelling things forward as I sought to understand many of the nuances Carlson has to offer. Plot points emerge and build from the past novel, providing a great link as the series wanes and many answers emerge.
Kudos, Mr. Carlson, for a sensational wrap-up to this series.
