Dark Eye
by William Bernhardt

Bestselling author William Bernhardt returns with DARK EYE, his first stand-alone suspense novel in three years. Known for his mastery of psychological suspense, Bernhardt introduces us to a brand new protagonist, Susan Pulaski - a tormented Las Vegas cop on the hunt for a serial killer who finds devine inspiration in the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

Susan Pulaski is the prefect fit for her city and her job, unraveling the minds of deviant personalities. But when a serial killer begins decorating Sin City with horribly disfigured bodies of once beautiful young women, Pulaski's own demons go on a binge. After a violent incident earns her a pink slip from the LVPD and a trip to detox, she finds herself out of the hunt altogether.

Desperate to regain her job, her reputation, and custody of the neice she's been caring for on her own, Pulaski finds help from an unsuspected source: Darcy O'Bannon, the police chief's twenty-five-year-old autistic son. Darcy's relationship with the world around him is so unusual that it forces Pulaski to view the crimes from a bizarre - but ultimately insightful - perspective.

But even with the assistance of Darcy's astonishing skills, Pulaski is in even more danger than she knows. For the man she seeks is watching her, seduced by her frailties and strengths, her beauty and her boldness. To complete his masterwork of horror, he needs her.

DARK EYE is an unparalled literary Las Vegas thrill ride that will leave readers breathless until the final, stunning page.
