Kendra Michaels was born blind but now has her sight but
with all the years without it, she has learned to use her
other senses and that is exactly why the F.B.I. seeks her
out whenever there is a situation. This time the murdered
woman had Kendra's name and a SD card of a wedding video on
her possession. Kendra has a feeling she is about to be hit
by a DOUBLE BLIND when drawn into this case. Adam Lynch, an agent for hire, will back her up in all her
endeavors but would really prefer she stick to her music
therapy but knows she must solve this case especially with
the stranger looking for her. He knows from experience that
nothing is what it seems and that they will face the worst
of the worst before all is said and done. DOUBLE BLIND will have you on the edge of your seat! There
is nothing normal or simple about this case, nor are the
emotional twists and turns that Kendra will be forced to go
through that will leave you winded with her. I have read a
number of Kendra
Michaels books by co-authors Iris Johansen and Roy
Johansen, but this one stayed with me long after the last
words. Which I might add is a teaser for a continuing story
arc, they got their particular bad guy but there is a cadre
of dangerous beings that Adam wants to go after to finish up
the job. Question is will he go alone? I always find it amazing what Kendra can piece together
using all her senses. It's actually fun to see her embarrass
some people and disturb others with what she knows about
them just from the things she senses. I love the tension
between Adam and Kendra, which finally exploded and though I
was not exactly happy with the non-romantic format, the
unnerving situation that set it all in motion had me almost
traumatized. One of the maneuvers that the Johansens are
very good at is shock. You have no idea when they will throw
you for a complete loop and this one almost had me dropping
the book. Sorry, but you will have to read to find out what
precipitated this explosion between this couple who have
danced around each other for a long time. And I dare you not
to want to punch out one of the other agents in charge for
his actions. Private investigator Jessie Mercado, and Kendra's long time,
blind friend, Olivia are big parts of the investigation and
one of them is the reason that she is desperate to find the
answers. The danger is dark, with a lot of DOUBLE BLIND's being
thrown out to keep the readers just a little off balance by
what happens next. It's great when a mystery can't be easily
solved by the reader, and with this one there was no way to
do so until the author's let us see the truth. If you want a dark, edgy, amazing read with characters that
will stick with you, then DOUBLE BLIND is just what you need.
SUMMARY
The #1 New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award
winning authors are back with an electrifying new novel that
will leave your heart racing. Kendra Michaels, formerly blind and now a hired gun for law
enforcement agencies who relies on her razor-sharp powers of
observation, is reluctant to help the FBI with the most
recent case they’ve brought to her. But then she hears the
details: the body was found just blocks away from Kendra’s
condo. The young woman was carrying an envelope with
Kendra’s name on it, and inside was an SD card with what
appears to be an innocuous video of a wedding reception. The
woman died trying to get the video to Kendra, but for what
purpose? Before Kendra and the FBI can answer that question,
the bride is abducted from her suburban home. And so the hunt is on for a killer whose nightmarish plan is
slowly becoming clear. A plan that involves a powerful law
firm and a multi-billion dollar corporation. As the body
count rises, Kendra joins forces with private investigator
Jessie Mercado and agent-for-hire Adam Lynch to stop the
plot as it grows ever closer to its terrifying conclusion. In Double Blind, Iris and Roy Johansen deliver an
emotional, gripping new entry in the bestselling Kendra
Michaels series.
