The Blinds - Adam Sternbergh - Bog

?This may not be a prison, and it may not be purgatory, but it's sure as hell not a paradise, either. This is the Blinds.?Imagine a place populated by criminals?people plucked from their lives, with their memories altered, who've been granted new identities and a second chance. Welcome to the Blinds, a dusty town in rural Texas populated by misfits who don't know if they perpetrated a crime or just witnessed one. What's clear to them is that if they leave, they will end up dead.For eight years, Sheriff Calvin Cooper has kept an uneasy peace, but after a suicide and a murder in quick succession, the town's residents revolt. Cooper has his own secrets to protect, so when his new deputy starts digging, he needs to keep one step ahead of her?and the mysterious outsiders who are threatening to tear the whole place down. The more Cooper learns, the more the hard truth is revealed: The Blinds is no sleepy hideaway. It's simmering with violence and deception, aching heartbreak and dark betrayals.
