Blind Order

In Elizabeth B. Splaine’s latest thriller, Blind Order, Dr. Julian Stryker has rebuilt his life after being robbed of his eyesight in a horrific attack.

Even though it was a patient who blinded him, Stryker still feels compelled to help desperate people. It’s this desire that leads him to Dr. Linda Sterling, a troubled physician struggling to maintain the façade of a perfect life. The reality is that her foster mother lay dying in a nursing home and she is barely able to keep herself together.

As Stryker reaches out to Linda, his homicide detective girlfriend, Alex, is busy with a situation of her own. She thinks that a serial killer may be on the loose in New England, but doesn’t have the evidence to prove it. Enlisting the aid of Stryker and their FBI agent friend, Vinny Marcozzi, the three soon discover the twisted connection between the spate of unnatural deaths and Linda herself.

Linda isn’t just Stryker’s patient, and she isn’t just stressed about the realities of her life. Driven by vicious ghosts from her past, Linda is staring down a dark tunnel, and Stryker may not be able to stop her before she fully embraces the demons within.
