When the body of a young man is washed up on the beach in the quiet coastal town of Helmsmouth, blind ex-detective John Steadman has a brutal murder case to solve. When another murder victim is found in the same place, the crime turns into a challenging case of false identity. And then a third body is found, locked inside a freezer in an abandoned warehouse… Steadman knows the murders must somehow be connected to each other, and possibly to the seedy underworld of organised crime, but is someone else working behind the scenes to stop him unravelling the case? Another page-turner from Jake Buchan, author of Blind Pursuit and Second Sight, the first two John Steadman crime thrillers.
John 'Jake' Buchan was born in Scotland and moved to Wales in 1981 where he worked as a family and hospital doctor. Married with three grown-up children, he lives in Rhayader with his wife and, until a few years ago, Robbie a retired guide dog. "I have always enjoyed writing and vowed when I had more time, I would write a novel. The idea for a blind detective came from my love of dermatology, the most visual of medical specialities, and my interest in how people cope with adversity, particularly loss of sight. Could you be a blind dermatologist just from listening and asking questions? Could you be a blind detective?... " There are three books featuring DI John Steadman, the blind detective. The first, Blind Pursuit, was published in 2014 and well received. This was followed by Second Sight in 2017 and a third book Double Vision was published in June 2021.
