I found this great little video online and thought I would share it in the run-up to the release of Dead Blind, the standalone novel due for release on 8th May. Available for pre-order HERE.
My protagonist acquires prosopagnosia – otherwise known as Face blindness, where you can’t recognise people by their face. This proves particularly difficult for him when he witnesses a murder. And even more difficult because he’s a cop and he’s he’s keeping this all secret from his colleagues!
This short video clip is Chris Pine, getting a little frustrated at some mistaken identity.
Enjoy!
Dead Blind
How do you identify a ruthless killer when you can’t even recognise your own face in a mirror?
Returning to work following an accident, Detective Inspector Ray Patrick refuses to disclose he now lives with face blindness – an inability to recognise faces.
As Ray deceives his team he is pulled into a police operation that targets an international trade in human organs. And when he attempts to bring the organisation down, Ray is witness to a savage murder.
But it’s a killer he will never remember.
The pressure mounts as Ray attempts to keep his secret and solve the case alone. With only his ex-wife as a confidant, he feels progressively isolated.
Can he escape with his career and his life intact?
Pre-order HERE.

This is really interesting, Rebecca! I’d never thought of what it might be like to live with face-blindness. I don’t know what I’d do if didn’t know who’s looking back at me in the glass. Thanks for sharing this.

It is a handicap indeed. Being a witness in ‘normal’ circumstances is hard enough, people confuse what they’ve seen, can be swayed by other witnesses and after a while the brain fills in gaps or creates ‘false memories’ so the Police have their hands full anyway. Cannot imagine a Police officer with Prosopagnosia…imagine him interviewing a witness with it too!!
