"Advance Praise for Blind Spots ""[An] excellent near-future mystery. . . Fans of P.D. James's Children of Men will be enthralled."" -Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""A gritty, dystopian story and an all too real and possible exploration of the dangers of continuous surveillance and the spread of disinformation."" -Library Journal (starred review) ""[Mullen] has outdone himself here: this is a tremendous crime-SF hybrid, a brilliantly conceived story impeccably told. A novel that will stay with you for a very long time."" --Booklist (starred review) ""Grounded in the set pieces of police procedurals, this is both a whodunit and a cautionary tale about technology and government authoritarianism run amok. A lively, offbeat mystery with a thought-provoking premise."" --Kirkus Reviews ""It's rare to find a thriller with such a fantastic and original concept. I was gripped."" --Anthony Horowitz ""An exciting page-turner that's also full of sharp writing and thought-provoking ideas. Mullen fuses science fiction and a detective story into a stylish and entertaining novel."" --Charles Yu ""This terrific mix of noir and sci-fi delivers an exciting and cautionary crime novel of what may be our not-so-distant future.""--Ace Atkins ""Terrific... The world of this story is brimming with imagination and raises alarming questions about our own near-term future. Attention Black Mirror fans: This is your next book!"" --Jason Rekulak"
