About the author

Jan Coffey, Nik James, and May McGoldrick are pen names for USA Today bestselling authors Nikoo Kafi and Jim McGoldrick. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels, and two works of nonfiction.

Nikoo’s education and training was in engineering. She worked in robotics and submarine shipbuilding. Before earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature, Jim pursued a hundred and one jobs, including a decade in submarine construction.

Storytellers at heart, Nikoo and Jim were always searching for careers that gave them time for both family and writing. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, they recognized each other’s creative strengths. Nikoo is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Their first attempt in writing fiction together produced their award-winning novel, The Thistle and the Rose. Since then, their stories have touched the hearts and minds of millions of readers all over the world. Their work has been translated into over a dozen languages and counting.

Nikoo and Jim are four-time Rita Finalists and the winners of numerous awards for their writing, including the Daphne DeMaurier Award for Excellence, the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award, three NJRW Golden Leaf Awards, two Holt Medallions, and the Connecticut Press Club Award for Best Fiction.

The authors make their home in California.

Reviews

[Rrshively · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this better than most popular mysteries. I will try to find more by this author which is really a husband & wife team who portray both the female and male characters' take on things very well. This book brings forth questions about powerful people and companies and their influence on American economics, research, and government. Another interesting strand of this mystery is the bond between identical twins even when separated by great distance. This mystery is best appreciated if the reader for the span of the book does believe that identical twins can communicate even when they are far apart and haven't seen each other for a long time. One wonders if some of the research on the brain done in the novel is plausable. Time will tell.

[Bev Walkling · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat! Explores the bod between twins especially in times of danger.

[Janet · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was interesting. The power of twins psyche made it intriguing.

[Vicky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyed it. Would have loved a clearer ending of the characters but that's me. I like endings to be crystal clear.

Unoutdownable!

[BBAnn · Rating 4 out of 5]

It took me a little bit to get into this book, but once i did, it was so worth it!! I fully believe that twins have the special connections and abilities to communicate like that!!

[Janet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good suspense! I'll admit, I got a little whiplash from all the character changes with each chapter. There's a lot going on, but I still enjoyed it.

First time reading this author(s) and probably now one of my most favorite reads. Suspenseful and vivid storytelling. Fun quick read that doesn’t disappoint.

I have read it before. It's hard to tell just by the name.

[Kristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I give this book 4.5 stars. This is the first book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The book was fast paced and moved along quite nice. I enjoyed how all the characters stories mixed together. I am definitely going to recommend this book to others and I am looking forward to the next book.

[Ayny · Rating 3 out of 5]

Alternating chapters from different viewpoints helped keep characters straight. Although a predictable ending,the story was interesting, especially the connection between twins and medical/scientific aspects.

OK B book

[Tressa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Blind Eye is interesting and well-written, but I was unable to finish reading it because the story veered too far into unbelievability for me.

This book reminded me why I loved reading.
