“A Dream in the Dark”: A peek into the world of a terrified crime victim’s blindness

In this short but powerful excerpt from “A Dream in the Dark,” author Robert Justice channels the mindset of a woman previously blinded by an attacker. A finalist for the Colorado Book Award for Mystery, the story examines a miscarriage of justice after the victim identifies the alleged perpetrator through a dream — echoing a real-life Colorado case. But in this excerpt, he illustrates a world in which the victim still harbors uncertainty about her testimony and remains terrified, even on a short walk to the grocery store.

READ AN EXCERPT

Interview with the author. Justice explains the cases that inspired his novel as well as his ongoing work to support the Colorado-based innocence project that pursues freeing the wrongly convicted. Listen to a Daily Sun-Up podcast with Robert Justice.
