Annie Solomon's BLIND CURVE is an action-packed novel combining elements of mystery and excitement with emotional upheaval.  When former-bad boy turned cop Danny Sinofsky suddenly loses his vision during a undercover sting,  Danny's world tilts on its axis and he is forced to recognize that his life will never be the same again.  He is unwilling to accept that he can longer actively participate as a police detective, and he believes blindness will cause him to become a burden and embarrassment to the few family members he has left.  To make matters worse, his mobility instructor, Martha Crowe, continues to push him to accept his blindness and learn how to cope.

Martha Crowe, known in high school as "Scare Crowe," recognizes Danny from their shared youth.  Danny was one of the few students in her school who did not torment Martha because of her unattractive looks, but she does not want Danny to realize how plain she is. Martha has spent most of her life as a caregiver, both personally and professionally, and she knows Danny can still be a happy and productive individual if she can push him hard enough.  Martha and Danny are constantly at odds, and when she witnesses an attempt on Danny's life, they are suddenly on the run, forced to work together to stay alive.

Ms. Solomon's BLIND CURVE is a literary feast for suspense fans, and the added mixture of romance and Martha's own low self-image keeps the reader engaged to the very last pate.  BLIND CURVE is another winner for an author who clearly has a gift and is on the rise.
