Myopia

Two bodies lay dead in a dark alley—one savaged by some unnatural predator, the other lying serenely like a fallen angel. The only significant clue is a pair of newly-minted contact lenses worn by the shredded victim at the time of death. In an effort to see through the victim's eyes and unveil a killer, Detective Nick Holden dons one of those lenses. But the world which reveals itself to his left eye is brimming with dark specters and impossibilities. Myopia is the second of the Rust Chronicles spin-off novels. It is an origin story which details the rise of Nick Holden; a legendarily crass, unconventional, Hawaiian shirt wearing, lactose intolerant detective with a nasty habit of closing impossible cases. The book features an early glimpse into the Rust Chronicles universe, through the perspective of the foul-mouthed detective and his somewhat rude introduction to the preternatural cosmos.
