Blind Needle

by Trevor Hoyle

A 'razor-sharp' and 'dark and dangerous' thriller ( City Life ): a man seeking his wife's killer finds himself embroiled with a sex-hungry divorcée and a drugs ring rife with corruption . . . but there are darker secrets yet to uncover.

Peter Holford was recently an inmate of a psychiatric institution, but he's out, and on the trail of the man he believes murdered his wife. He's given a lift one dark, wet night by an attractive young woman; Diane Locke is a divorcée and hungry for sex - but she befriends him, even shielding him from the police as he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy involving drugs, fraud and murder . . .

In Blind Needle , 'a novel of dark and dangerous ideas' ( Glasgow Herald ), Trevor Hoyle takes the traditional thriller and adds a new twist.

[Sean Randall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dark, gritty, and probably not worth it unless you're a fan. I enjoyed it for the most part, although reading 2 chapters concurrently nearly gave me a headache! Fun, in a macabre sort of a way, but not a book I can enthuse on.
