He Died with His Eyes Open by Derek Raymond

5.0

This was not a typical crime read, more literate, with some of delving into the human psyche. Never do learn the name of the main character, he is given a murder case and through writings and cassette tapes left by the victim, he learns about his life and tracks down the perps. Looks at the darker side of humanity, not really violence, (although there is some violence throughout) but in the way people can use relationships to control and ultimately alter another persons behavior. He quite literally steps into the role of his victim on his way to solving the case.

I'll probably have to think about this book some more and come back to update my review. I guess that's what a good book should do, make you think about for some time afterwards.
