Oči Laure Mars

Laura Mars is a successful New York fashion photographer whose provocative images combine beauty, eroticism and staged violence. Her professional life is overturned when she begins experiencing visions of murders from the killer’s perspective. What initially resembles a disturbing hallucination proves connected to actual crimes.

Police investigator John Neville tries to understand Laura’s inexplicable link with the attacker. As people around her become endangered, witnessing the violence offers little protection: she cannot identify the murderer or easily prevent the events unfolding before her.

The distance between observer and victim steadily narrows. A photographer accustomed to transforming violence into an artistic image is forced to experience it against her will. The investigation becomes a story of vulnerability, uncertain trust and the fear of losing control over one’s own senses.

H. B. Gilmour’s Eyes of Laura Mars novelises the screenplay by John Carpenter and David Zelag Goodman. Combining criminal investigation, psychological suspense and a supernatural premise, it explores a threatening world beneath the glamorous surface of fashion photography.
