Seventeen-year-old Elyas isn’t like other students. He's alexithymic: emotions are like a foreign language to him.
All Elyas wants is to ace his final exams and escape from his abusive father. Everything changes when three students Elyas fought turn up dead. The same night, in an act of self-defense, Elyas sets off a dangerous chain of events that pulls him deeper into darkness.
Meanwhile, Detective James Afizere is on the hunt for a notorious serial killer. The investigation points toward Elyas, but there's no solid proof. Soon, the lines between victim and killer begin to blur. Can Elyas find the strength to emerge from the shadows, or will the past consume him?
A story of survival, betrayal and manipulation, Becky Anyanwu's MIND THE BLINDS is a gripping psychological thriller.
