For DS Brian McDone, life is beyond complicated.  A grisly murder greets him as he returns to the Preston Police Department following a mysterious leave of absence, throwing him immediately into the fray before he has a chance to catch his breath.  His personal life is a shambles, made all the worse by his personal demons.  How does Brian solve the murder while simultaneously trying to save his marriage and the respect of his young son?Brilliant author Ryan Casey sets a dark tone and meticulously maintains it in Dying Eyes, the first book in his new series featuring Brian McDone.  Brian is a beautifully, and disturbingly, complex character, as are all of the major characters.  With twists and turns aplenty, the story is both riveting and horrifying, and it is well-worth reading and re-reading.Mr. Casey writes with masterful confidence, handling the many complexities of the story and characters with an easy grace and a profound maturity.  I cannot recommend Dying Eyes highly enough and I encourage you to read Mr. Casey's other works as well in order to experience a powerful voice in modern literature.
