I debated over this review. On the one hand, the book really grabbed me and held on, as I finished it in one weekend. On the other, I hate the violence the author perpetrates on poor Benjamin. God hasn't he had enough? Lost the love of his life to AIDS, professionally disgraced, raped and infected with HIV, struggling to maintain while on the HIV regime...

John Morgan Wilson deals with controversial and sometimes uncomfortable subjects in the Benjamin Justice series – pedophilia in the previous book, The Limits of Justice, and the atrocities of priests and the Catholic Church in this one. In addition Ben is a gay disgraced journalist with a myriad of problems of his own. The graphic and often violent sex in the previous books is much toned down here, partially because of Ben's now being HIV positive.

One of the darkest books yet, with Benjamin Justice chasing down and confronting ghosts of his past when he begins research for his autobiography. Not only does he uncover memories from his own childhood, but discovers that he's not the only one to suffer at the hands of his priest and that the man committed even worse atrocities comes as a shock...
Still, I got sucked into the story fast and furious and the more I read these books, the more I like them. Well written, edgy, intelligent. More...

Blind eye just goes a little farther into the dark side and takes a look at the Catholic church covering up for its pedophile priests. Justice, writing his autobiography, opens up a Pandora box when he wants to find Father Blackey. Blackey, it turns out abused dozen of boys and girls until his death. In between the scandal, the construction of a new cathedral, the Cardinal possibly becoming the first American Pope you get a solid thriller with dark overtones.

Love a good detective story. This was first and formost a good story line. The added feature of an openly gay protagonist is a plus.

I have read all John M Wilson's novels of Benjamin Justice; love them all. If you like disgraced journalist, former aloholic who's been through hell and back - mixed in with a little murder, mayhem and suspense, this book is for you!

A pretty good mystery, and fairly interesting & complex characters. Not my usual kind of read, but a good story.
