From the Corner of His Eye

Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of profound tragedy and wonder, possessing eyes of such striking beauty that they seem to hold the secrets of the universe. On that same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless and increasingly unstable man named Junior Cain is told by a mysterious source that his mortal enemy is a boy named Bartholomew. Consumed by paranoia, Cain embarks on a lifelong, cold-blooded quest to find and eliminate this perceived threat. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a girl named Angel is born following a brutal crime, her survival a miracle and her destiny inextricably linked to both Barty and the man who stalks him. At age three, Barty is blinded by surgeons to save his life from a fast-spreading cancer, yet he grows into a child prodigy guided by his mother’s belief that every life affects every other in ways we cannot see. When Barty miraculously regains his sight at age thirteen, he is set on a collision course with Cain. Their intertwining lives culminate in a breathtaking exploration of good versus evil, the interconnectedness of all things, and the existence of alternate realities.
