Eye of the Beholder is a cult classic, first published in the 1980s and now reissued,
that has inspired both French and English film adaptations.
Joanna Eris has a bad habit of
marrying men that wind up dead. An unnamed private detective, known simply as
‘The Eye’ is hired to investigate the death of her husband.
The novel charts the
development of the detective’s dangerous obsession with a femme fatale, as he
pursues her across the United States.
‘One of the most
remarkable combinations of a private-eye novel and psychological suspense
story, with an entirely new slant, that has ever been published’ The New York Times Book Review
‘A pivotal work
in the history of mystery fiction’ Maxim Jablowski, The Guardian
'One of the
great novels of obsessive detective fiction' Chris Petit
'An astonishing
novel that is unlike anything you have ever read. One of the great lost novels
of the last century.' Stav Sherez
