Description
Map-obsessed Thomas spends his days and nights on a virtual tour of the world through his computer screen, believing he must store the details of every town and city in his head. Then one day, while surfing a street view program, he sees something that shouldn't be there: a woman being murdered behind a window on a New York street. When Thomas tells his brother Ray what he has witnessed, Ray humours him with a half-hearted investigation - until he realises Thomas may have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy, which puts them both in danger. . . With enough suspense to rival a Hitchcock film, this is a thriller with edge.
Author Biography

ReviewsMy idea of a sweet ride is three days of rain, a fridge filled with snacks, and a new Linwood Barclay. I just had all three. TRUST YOUR EYES is the best Barclay so far, a tale Hitchcock would have loved. It has more spins than the Whirl360 computer program Thomas Kilbride is so fascinated with. The book is riveting, frequently scary, occasionally funny, and surprisingly, wonderfully tender. I could believe this might happen to people living two streets over from me. Great entertainment from a suspense master -- STEPHEN KING As always author Linwood Barclay grabs you from the first and Trust Your Eyes is a belter. * DAILY EXPRESS * I've seldom, if ever, been as hooked after reading a prologue as with Trust Your Eyes, A twisty tale that well told. * INDEPENDENT * No one can thrill you and chill you better than Linwood Barclay. Trust me when I say you won't want to miss [this] -- Tess Gerritsen Updates the voyeuristic hook of Rear Window for the Internet age....An up-to-the-moment thrill ride, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. -- William Landay One of the best thriller writers in the world hands down and this is him at the top of his game... Fantastically well done... Top notch thriller writing * MARK BILLINGHAM on Trust Your Eyes * You're not going to put this book down * LEE CHILD on Trust Your Eyes * A magnificent piece of storytelling... A real page turner * KATE MOSSE on Trust Your Eyes *
