Its current view is of a seven-story building. One of its two long walls has been removed to make way for a door and for a window that over the years has looked out over empty lots as they’ve become apartment complexes and office blocks. These days the only traveling it does is on the back of a truck as it rolls its way up and down the country-a journey it makes once, sometimes twice a year. The office used to be an old shipping container, its walls scratched and dinged and pitted with rust, now painted gray. Soon, Joshua discovers a world even darker than the one he has emerged from-a world in which the gift of sight comes with dire, dangerous consequences that threaten everything that Joshua holds dear.Ī riveting thriller filled with hidden secrets and unspeakable horrors that will keep you guessing until the very last page, A Killer Harvest is a “powerful, thought-provoking novel” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). There are consequences to the life his father was living, including the wrath of a man hell-bent on killing, a man who is drawing closer and closer to Joshua. What, exactly, was his dad up to in his role as a police officer? And what, exactly, were the circumstances surrounding his death?
As Joshua navigates a realm of sight, he gets glimpses of what these eyes might have witnessed in their previous life. Joshua is handed an opportunity he can’t refuse: an operation that will allow him to see the world through his father’s eyes. It’s taken loved ones from him, it’s robbed him of his eyesight, and it’s the reason why his father was killed while investigating the homicide of a young woman. Joshua is convinced there is a curse on his family.
From the Edgar-nominated author of Trust No One and Joe Victim “who uses words like lethal weapons” (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times), a thriller about a blind teenager who receives a corneal donation and begins to see and feel memories from their previous owner-a homicide detective who was also his father.
