#1 international bestselling author Linwood Barclay’s novels have been praised as “compelling” (The Associated Press), “gripping” (The Wall Street Journal), and “fast-paced” (The Washington Post). Now, Barclay returns with a thrilling story in which two brothers suddenly find themselves pulled into a frightening vortex of power and murder… Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon—but has not—in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered. Thomas’s brother, Ray, takes care of him, cooking for him, dealing with the outside world on his behalf, and listening to his intricate and increasingly paranoid theories. When Thomas tells Ray what he has seen, Ray humors him with a half-hearted investigation. But Ray soon realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy. And now they are in the crosshairs…

I have read a lot of Linwood Barclay books and they all have a common "conspiracy theory" theme running through the pages and as such they can be somewhat predictable or equally...top notch...edge of the seat....slow down I'm reading this too quick!..type of book. Trust Your Eyes is firmly in the la...
It would take too long to explain one of Linwood Barclay's novels. Suffice to say it will be inhabited with ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. And for 'Trust Your Eyes' it would be said that it is street mapping gone wrong, in a one liner review.
