Painted Blind

Some memories are better left buried.

Claire Busby is legally blind. She has already lost more than her sight-first her career at the hospital, then her husband.

But she hasn't lost her instincts.

As a labor-and-delivery nurse, Claire was trained to notice the details others overlook. So when she looks out the window of her East Hollywood apartment late one night, she knows she has seen something terrible.

Someone being murdered.

Except when the police arrive, there is no body. No crime scene. No evidence.

The police don't believe her. Before long, Claire begins to question herself. What did she really see? Is someone manipulating her-or is her own memory betraying her?

Then she meets Simon Wakefield, a celebrated portrait painter at the center of Los Angeles's exclusive contemporary art world, where image is everything and truth is endlessly reinvented. As Claire is drawn deeper into his seductive, carefully curated world, the boundaries between memory and madness begin to dissolve.

Painted Blind is a twist-filled psychological thriller that explores friendship, love, art, and the fragility of perception, while it confronts the terrifying possibility that the greatest danger may lie within our own minds.
