Society murders, vanished fortunes, impossible alibis, and a deadly cargo hauled in from the far side of the world: he weighs them all in a Manhattan study lined with rare violins and curiosities, sifting clues through senses sharpened by darkness. A devoted secretary, rescued from the river years before, serves as his eyes; his slender ivory cane reads paper, polished wood, and human skin like the page of a printed book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eEight intricate puzzles carry him into the gilded ballrooms, fashionable hotels, and shadowed back-rooms of pre-war New York—a city where breeding masks treachery and a well-bred smile may hide the steadiest hand on a revolver. Wits, not weapons, decide each case, and the man who has never seen a face proves the sharpest reader of them all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press","offers":[{"title":"Case Bound - Cloth","offer_id":66824543895856,"sku":"9781667667614","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":66824554119472,"sku":"9781667667607","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/thornley-colton-blind-detective","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
