Synopsis
When he chances upon a strange piece of graffiti daubed on the walls of a north London restaurant, the violence of his reaction takes Alfie Flowers by surprise. The thorny circle of dashes and zigzags seems to reach right inside his brain - and provokes a flashback to a terrifying childhood incident. The incident Alfie has spent his life trying to forget. Convinced the graffiti artist possesses the clues to his past, Alfie sets out to track down the elusive 'Morph'. His search will lead him to the mysterious Nomads' Club and a secret history of espionage, culminating in the disappearance of Alfie's father over twenty years before. But the real secret of the graffiti patterns - or 'glyphs' - is to be found amidst the chaos of post-war Iraq. There, within the shadowy depths of an ancient network of caves, Alfie will uncover the powerful and disturbing truth behind the rituals of a strange, prehistoric society. But there are others seeking the source of the glyphs. People with sinister and dangerous motives - and if they were to succeed in their aims, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate...

(Report this)   Is it really the same author as White Devils?, 3 Feb 2008 By  Mr. A. M. Mcdonald "blaizemcleod" (Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Mind's Eye (Paperback) Mind's Eye Review I noticed this book in the library. I had been a big fan of the excellent White Devils, but - criminally - I lost the book, the title and the name of the author amidst a pile of 300 or so paperbacks stored at my parents house during a move into my apartment a few years back. Eventually I came across White Devils during a hunt for Stephen King's Dark Tower, and thus emboldened I endeavored to pick up some more of McCauley's work. Having no other experience of the author I expected the same taut, action-packed, neo-political novel White Devils had been. In fact Mind's Eye is quite a departure in a number of ways. Gone is the broad scope of a future Africa, replaced with a meandering 30-something wandering through London, attempting to track down a graffiti artist whose artwork has parallels to a childhood accident that renders him susceptible to epileptic fits. Gone is the tight dialogue of White Devils, replaced with light, chatty conversation, even amidst violent action scenes. This works: to a point. While McCauley nods a head at humour you never really feel convinced these characters are real. The difference is style is also remarkable. If I read both books without knowing the author I would not have thought they were the same person. On the front of the book is a quote from Michael Marshall Smith, and I'm not surprised this author is here. McCauley's style is similar to Marshall-Smith's, most notably with the characters and his invocation of London, but here he lacks Smith's humour and ability to write from the heart. The story is engaging at first, but shows its cards too early and the last third drags on. McCauley writes London well, but fails to match this once we leave England and head abroad. Another surprising turn, seeing as White Devils crossed many countries without once failing to convince. I think I'll pick up more McCauley work in the future, but I admit Mind's Eye is a disappointment.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
