Blind Man's Eyes

Five years after a convicted killer vanishes into thin air, another body drops in Seattle. The executor of the murdered financier's estate is set upon on a train stranded in Montana's frozen wilderness, surrounded by strangers whose stories don't add up: an irritating young man, a telegram that can't be his, a second murder, a burned bridge, and a manhunt that seems to chase its own tail. The answer doesn't lie in what the living see, but in what a blind man perceives. His extraordinary insights cut through the fog of deception, revealing truths hidden in plain sight. Balmer constructs his puzzle with meticulous care, layering secrets and misdirection until the final revelation reshapes everything the reader thought they knew. A masterclass in golden-age mystery, where the solution depends on looking at the obvious from an impossible angle.
