<p> While working the weekend night shift, Caroline Mabry, a weary Spokane police detective, encounters a seemingly unstable but charming derelict who tells her, "I'd like to confess." But he insists on writing out his statement in longhand. In the forty-eight hours that follow, the stranger confesses to not just a crime but an entire life—spinning a wry and haunting tale of youth and adulthood, of obsession and revenge, and of two men's intertwined lives. </p> <p> Fiendishly clever and darkly funny, <i>Land of the Blind</i> speaks to the bonds and compromises we make as children—and to the fatal errors we can make at any time. </p>
