Blind Eye

Someone in Aberdeen is attacking and blinding Polish workers.  Hate letters have been received by the police bragging about doing this and warning of more to come.  DS Logan McRae becomes involved in the investigation, but is pulled off of it when a fight occurs between local dealers and some Polish men trying to recruit them.  He is caught up working with DI Steel on that case, too.  However DCI Finnie pulls them from that claiming that they were interfering in an ongoing investigation.

Steel and McRae are ambushed when they are sent to investigate screaming in a house.  They find one of the McLeod boys has been blinded.  The action becomes more intense as they discover that it is an international ring that is trying to move in on the local crime rings.  Since there are Polish immigrants that are being victimised, they wonder of it is Polish mafia that are involved.

McRae is assigned to travel to Warsaw to liaise with Polish police and find out about similar blindings that had occurred there in the past.  Although the Aberdeen police had someone in custody for the blindings, there was another blinding while McRae was in Kraków.  Could they have made a mistake?

McRae  is able to find one man who had his eyes gouged out, and the name of the man who had done it.  Unfortunately for him and the police officer who is helping him, they are shot at and bombed.  Upon his return he and Steel are given a secret assignment of a parallel investigation into the killings.

The action really heats up in this murder mystery as the pages flyby.  Author Stuart MacBride has once again produced a real page turner that you won't want to put down.
