Camera's Eye by Gavin Page (eBook)

Some photographs show what happened. This camera shows the truth.

Daniel Mercer inherits a camera from his dead mentor. Arthur Marlow was the greatest photographer Johannesburg ever produced. His eye for the perfect moment was legendary. His front-page bylines were countless. Everyone believed he had a gift that couldn't be taught.

Everyone was wrong.

The camera doesn't photograph what you see. It photographs what happened. The recent past. The crime. The celebration. The moment. The thing that occurred at that location just moments before. Arthur wasn't a genius. He was a fraud. He arrived after the event, photographed the aftermath, and let the camera show him what he had missed. For forty years, he built a career on stolen moments.

But that wasn't his worst sin.

Arthur kept every negative. Every crime he witnessed. Every killer he captured. Every innocent person who went to prison because he was too afraid to speak. He hid the truth in a room full of filing cabinets and died alone with his secrets.

Now Daniel has the camera. And the negatives. And the choice.

He can stay silent like Arthur did. He can protect himself and his reputation and let the innocent suffer. Or he can send anonymous tips to the police. He can free the wrongly accused. He can catch the guilty. He can do what Arthur should have done forty years ago.

But every photograph he takes carries a risk. Every tip he sends draws closer to the truth. And the truth, once uncovered, cannot be buried again.

The Camera's Eye is a novel about truth and lies. About legacy and betrayal. About a man who must decide what to do with a gift that destroyed the person he loved. In the tradition of literary suspense, it explores the weight of secrets and the cost of justice.
