In a quiet, respectable place, in the midst of a wedding celebration, a murder occurs under the guns of many video cameras. The bride was killed - and the circumstances of the death, recorded minute by minute, at first glance, do not raise doubts. But the trail ends, the evidence leads nowhere, and the motives of the alleged killer - a missing Mexican gardener - remain unclear. “Shut Your Eyes Tight” is the second action-packed novel by American writer John Verdon, in which the main character is retired police officer Dave Gurney. Sacredly convinced that the killer must leave at least some trace, Gurney takes up the case. But neither he himself nor his former colleagues even suspect where the new unexpected circumstances of the case may lead them and what a terrifyingly large-scale story is hidden behind the family drama.
