Summary
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JOHN CREASEY DEBUT DAGGER AWARD 2019
A headmistress is found strangled in an East London school, the victim of a ritualistic act of violence. Found at the scene is a single piece of card, upon which is written an ancient Buddhist precept:
I SHALL ABSTAIN FROM TAKING THE UNGIVEN.
At first, DI Maya Rahman can’t help but hope this is a tragic but isolated murder. Then, the second body is found.
Faced with a community steeped in secrets and prejudice, Maya must untangle the cryptic messages left at the crime scenes to solve the deadly riddle behind the murders – before the killer strikes again.
Turn a Blind Eye is the first book in a series set in East London and starring DI Maya Rahman.
Critic reviews
"A remarkable portrayal of a crime investigation in modern, multi-cultural Britain." (Paul Finch, author of Ashes to Ashes)
"Vicky Newham's Turn a Blind Eye is a sensational debut; a current, timely police procedural featuring a DI like none you've ever seen. I loved this book!" (Karen Dionne, author of the international best seller The Marsh King’s Daughter)
"An impressive debut...the multicultural community of Brick Lane is sensitively evoked and the heroine is ultra-hip. It’s no surprise that she has been snapped up for television." (Daily Mail)
