Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Blind Spot: A Novel
They moved away together, Miss Grey and the dissipated young man, and Stone looked after them. They didn't speak to each other, not at least while they were within his hearing, but he thought that Linda Grey's face was a little ?ushed and that her eyes were shining.
Miss Alice Farnborough recalled to him the fact that he was not alone, and he turned to her with a start.
They look very well together, don't they? Miss Farnborough said.
He glanced at the girl beside him and then quickly away again before anything in his expression should betray surprise and pity, for all down one side of Miss Farnborough's face there extended one of those reddish discolorations that are sometimes called birth-marks, and in her eyes there was the eternal tragedy of the woman who knows she is for ever, in a certain important sense, out of the running.
He understood now why it was that she hated crowds and liked to come to Grey's Inn when the week-end was to be a quiet one.
