Double Blind: Blindsided and Blind as a Bat Ray - Paperback

by Paul Anders (Author)

Two Novels in One! Blindsided: A great morning in the surf ends with two gunshots. One they say was aimed at the Congressman, the other killed his intended assassin. Only Paul believes that both shots came from the same policeman's gun. The police don't much care for Paul's theory of the crime. Nor can he rely on Marcie who has just started a new career as a police intern. The trail leads to a pack of skinheads, a ticking bomb he must diffuse, and the daughter of the woman Paul was engaged to marry just before the explosion that took his eyesight. Blind as a Batray: The Puzzle House is Orange County's answer to LA's Magic Castle. If you can find its entrance through the maze of hedges, and convince its door to open, you'll find a fine restaurant within along with rooms holding crossword puzzles, cryptograms, ciphering machines, sudokus, giant jigsaws, and the locked pie-shaped room where Agnes and Paul discover the dead body of Puzzle House Director, Arthur Butler. Lots of clues, lots of puzzles, lots of sex, and, if Paul can make his way back to the surface from within an underwater cave, Arthur Butler's murderer.
