In a 1944 Greenwich Village apartment, a blind woman is threatened by criminals in search of a very “special” doll. As the climax builds, Susan discovers that her blindness just might be the key to her escape, IF she can manage to stall her tormentors until dark. This masterfully constructed thriller moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward a heart-stopping finale.
