Caroline Mabry

During a routine drug bust, on a narrow bridge over white-water falls in the center of town, Spokane detective Caroline Mabry finds herself face-to-face with a brutal murderer. Within hours, the body of a young prostitute is found on the riverbank nearby. What follows confronts our fascination with pathology and murder and stares it down, as Caroline and her cynical partner, Alan Dupree—thrown headlong into the search for a serial murderer who communicates by killing women—uncover some hard truths about their profession . . . and each other.

Land of the Blind brings back Spokane police detective Caroline Mabry—and pits her in a battle of wits against a mysterious, yet oddly familiar figure who appears one Friday night, seeming disoriented and wearing an eye patch. He has a confession to make, the man announces, but he insists on writing it out—and it may take a while. Nineteen hours later—with the stranger still writing—Caroline finds herself scrambling to investigate not merely a murder, but the story of two men’s darkly intertwined lives…and to find the body that awaits her, somewhere in the city.
