About This Book

A near-future noir follows a perceptive private investigator whose ability to sense mental impressions collides with the darker uses of telepathy when he is stalked and attacked by a weapon-bearing assailant. After defending himself, police scrutiny and institutional perceptive expertise probe the incident and link the attacker to organized crime. The investigator combines physical action and limited perceptual range to rummage through the dead man's life and apartment, exploring the uneasy interactions among emergent ESP technologies, law enforcement procedures, and criminal adaptation.
