A faulty lift traps photographer Colin Blake on the unlisted floor of a high-security area. Within minutes, a SWAT team grabs him and he faces an inquisition. Blake is sucked into a nightmare of intrigue and corruption. Though relentlessly pursued, he manages to connect with an underground trio – Kate, a Kiwi weapons expert, Sergeant Higgins and the mystical Mr Ko. As the action shifts across continents and oceans, Blake encounters everything from human experiments to slaughterhouses for unwanted populations. But he has one extraordinary weapon – his mind. Written with meticulous military detail and inside knowledge, The Fourth Eye is an utterly convincing, non-stop descent into terror.



The Fourth Eye has been optioned for film and Smith’s second novel, The Godgame was optioned for film before it was published. Smith’s tense, superbly-plotted thrillers twist terror together with an authenticity that leaves readers gasping.
