Dead Eye: Redemption

by Lee Harding

SEE YOUR SINS BEFORE HE TAKES YOUR SIGHT After a seven year absence, the serial killer known as Dead Eye returns. Earning his moniker by removing the right eye of his victims before letting them die, he targets several random women with no discernible motive. Detective Ed Couper, the lead investigator in the original murders, must try to stop his nemesis. With the slayings of four elderly men still unsolved, the pressure is mounting for the monster to be caught. Yet Ed has suffered great loss; a tragic accident has taken his only son and his marriage hangs by a thread. Ed’s partner, Detective Cerys Divo, takes control of the manhunt. Ed has been suspended from active duty after a violent outburst and is relegated to the side-lines to revisit the original killings. He visits psychiatrist Dr Mal Veere to confront his demons. Insisting that the sessions be conducted in the dark, Ed is told all will be revealed when he is ‘ready to see’. Dead Eye kidnaps a social worker. Restrained in his torture chamber, she pleads for her life. Her lies have personally affected him but Dead Eye still wants to save her from her sin. To be redeemed she must see who she really is. Ignoring her screams, he gouges out her eye, turning it to look at herself before she bleeds to death. The strain mounts for Ed and Cerys to stop the madman as another mutilated corpse is found. With a plot that twists like Dead Eye’s blade, can the detectives discover the killer’s motive and identity before the next body is found?
