About this listen

Ready or not, here he comes.... He plays the oldest children's game in the world, hide and seek. Only the Eye Collector plays it to death. It's the same each time. A woman's body is found with a ticking stopwatch clutched in her dead hand. A distraught father must find his child before the boy suffocates - and the killer takes his left eye.

Alexander Zorbach, a washed-up cop turned journalist, has reported all three of the Eye Collector's murders. But this is different. His wallet has been found next to the corpse and now he's a suspect. The Eye Collector wants Zorbach to play.

Zorbach has exactly 45 hours, seven minutes to save a little boy's life. And the countdown has started....

Please note this audio is recorded in reverse order as per the print book. It starts with Epilogue, and finishes at Chapter One.

This German author has a knack - he keeps you guessing all the way and the end - too scary.

Scary!

Firstly, I enjoy books by this author and stick with it even when I am somewhat confused - and with this book, I have to admit to a severe level of confusion. The chapters are read from last to first (as if that is not confusing enough) although one appears to be going forward with the story. Excellent narration by Mr Shearer and despite my confusion, I needed to stay with it. Plausible but flawed hero, blind psychic who might not even exist (don't say I haven't warned you) and a very clever killer with an agenda that will not be revealed until the end. Good luck!!

Typical Fitzek

The eye collector is a strange book as it starts from the end but it works very well. It follows the life of an ex cop who writes about the eye collector as a newspaper reporter and he becomes very much involved in the case in a disturbing way.It takes you in to a dark and tense word where a serial killer seems to be always one step ahead of his police. A great read that keeps you guessing which I listened too without a pause. I strongly recommend it to anyone as it is fantastic book

Dark and gripping from start to finish

A really good story, well thought out, well read, very current. Clumsy translation to English.

Great story, slightly clumsy translation.

Think the author was trying to be too clever with this book by adding a loop to the story and taking the reader to the end at th
e “beginning”. It’s a shame because the story itself was good, as was the narrator but,’in my opinion, the convoluted way it was presented, spoiled the effect of what is revealed throughout the chapters. Just trying to be a little less clever in presentation would have resulted an a much more enjoyable read

doesn’t work unless you revisit the “beginning” after the end
