DOUBLE BLIND

By Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen

These two incredible writers are bestsellers all by themselves, but when writing together, this mother/son team has also produced some of the very best suspense fiction to be found. This time around, hired gun for both the CIA and the FBI (not to mention, a fan favorite character from this writing team), Kendra Michaels, is back in the limelight.

For those who know Kendra, they know her odd backstory. After all, you don’t often come across a once blind person who can now shoot the eyes out of a rooster, so to speak, from hundreds of yards away. Not only is her aim extremely good but her powers of observation are even better, which is why law enforcement counts on her to get more than her required job done.

A body has been found only a few blocks from where Kendra lives. Even worse, the corpse was in possession of an envelope with Kendra’s name written on it. Inside said envelope is what one would call a generic video of a wedding reception. There are no assassin’s names or terrorist threats that come along with it, and no matter how many people watch it, they can find absolutely no reason why this woman would have been murdered while trying to deliver the tape.

As the scenes progress and the confusion starts to turn from hazy to clear, readers will be introduced to a killer whose plan is set in stone. Money is involved, as well as a law firm holding on to secrets and a billion dollar corporation that has its own dark corners that need to be explored.

Kendra, as always, is a great character to follow. When she joins up with P.I. Jessie Mercado and her gun-for-hire mentality also combines with agent-for-hire Adam Lynch’s skills, this story goes from 0 to 60 in seconds. This book once again shows why the name “Johansen” is synonymous with perfection.
