Cat's Eye

A woman sees a murder. Now she's the killer's next target. When a solicitor's brother is gunned down during a botched robbery, Margaret Blake finds herself the sole witness to a killing she can identify. But telling the police means signing her own death warrant, and the killer knows it. Enter Dr. Thorndyke, the brilliant medico-legal investigator whose forensic genius turns circumstantial evidence into courtroom proof, and Robert Anstey, the barrister drawn into the case both to help Thorndyke and to protect the woman whose life now depends on his success. As the net tightens around the murderer, the question becomes whether justice will arrive in time, or whether the killer will eliminate the only person who can send him to the gallows. Freeman builds his classic puzzle with the precision of a surgeon, layering medical forensics, legal strategy, and desperate tension into a story where nothing is quite as it first appears.
