The extraordinary new Mallory novel from one of the most acclaimed crime writers in America.
A blind child and a Catholic nun disappear from a city sidewalk in plain sight of onlookers. There, then gone vanished in seconds. Those who witnessed the event still cannot believe it happened.
It was all too real. Detective Kathy Mallory and the NYPD s Special Crimes Unit enter the investigation when the nun s body is found with three other corpses in varying stages of decomposition left on the lawn of Gracie Mansion, home to the mayor of New York City. Sister Michael was the last to die. The child, Jonah Quill, is still missing.
Like Jonah, the police are blind. Unknown to them, he is with a stone killer, and though he has unexpected resources of his own, his would-be saviors have no suspect, no useful evidence, and no clue except for Detective Mallory s suspicions of things "not said" and her penchant for getting to the truth beneath lies. Behind her back, the squad s name for her is Mallory the Machine, yet she has a dark understanding of what it is to be human. A child is waiting, time is running out, and atop her list of liars is the mayor himself and a theory of the crimes in which no sane cop could believe."

Review:

"Praise for Carol O'Connell"
M is for Mallory Kathy Mallory, bestseller O Connell s powerful and powerfully flawed New York Special Crimes Unit detective. M is also for morbid, macabre, and mordant adjectives that can be applied to the plot, the prose, and the humor of this dazzling 11th novel in the series. Mallory's bravura performance wreaks justice both inside and outside the legal system. "Publishers Weekly"
Enthralling . . . Mallory continues to be an enigmatic and fascinating character. Despite an impeccable fashion sense and movie-star good looks, Mallory is as much a feral being as she was when she was first rescued from the streets as a child. Her closest counterpoint in mystery fiction is Lisbeth Salander. Oline Cogdill, "Mystery Scene Magazine"
NYPD Special Crimes Detective Kathy Mallory is one of the most intriguing characters in crime fiction today. "New York Daily News"
Like all the Mallory novels, this one is a solid police procedural with a twisty plot, and Mallory is a fascinating, rich character. Fans won t want to miss this. "Library Journal"
Carol O Connell is one of my favorite writers. "New York "Times-bestselling author Karin Slaughter
Before Salander took the world by storm, there was Mallory, the most gloriously original heroine to grace crime fiction s meanest and darkest streets. Sarah Weinman, " "author of "Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives""

Praise for" Blind Sight"
Do I really need to say anything other than Mallory is back? And she s darker, more sly and disturbing than ever. Carol O Connell is at her finest in this addictive, riveting, stylish, powerful psychological thriller. Once again, she s raised the bar for crime fiction.
