Eye Sleuth

Dr. Yoko Kamimura's safe, predictable routine as a behavioral optometrist at the College of Optometry in New York is shattering. When the stranger who comes up to Yoko on East 23rd Street and warns her of danger is shot to death, safe and predictable switches to murder and mayhem. The very next day, there's a catastrophe at the iconic National Arts Club and Yoko's godmother is left in a coma after a vicious attack. Frustrated by the dismissive attitude of Detective Dan Riley at the 13th precinct, Yoko vows to turn sleuth, but work and bizarre events keep her scrambling. Not even a prestigious conference 3,000 miles away in England in the tranquil coastal city of Bournemouth and a visit to Christchurch's 11th century priory are havens for Yoko. Now she is in the killer's cross-hairs and the chase is on...in and around the Gramercy Park area, sometimes at No. 34, New York's first coop building, sometimes at the abandoned Quaker Meeting House and eventually at the famous Pete's Tavern.Praise for Eye Sleuth:"Optometrist and epicurean Yoko Kamimura is a likable heroine who fights with her head and occasionally with her fists. Readers will learn much about behavioral optometry through Yoko's sleuthing exploits in the Big Apple and England."--Naomi Hirahara, Edgar winner and Author of the Mas Arai series
