The second in a powerfully unsettling trilogy by the master of the psychothriller, Sebastian Fitzek. Dr Suker is one of the best eye surgeons in the world. He is also a psychopath who abducts women and removes their eyelids. So far, all the victims of the twisted doctor's crimes have committed suicide shortly thereafter. The police are unable to proceed against him due to the lack of evidence. When another woman is abducted, her mother turns to Alina Gregoriev for help. Gregoriev, the blind physiotherapist, has been considered a medium since her abilities helped capture an infamous serial killer. She reluctantly gets involved in the Suker case, where she is drawn into a world of madness and violence that also engulfs her old friend, police officer turned journalist Alexander Zorbach.
