Review:

Praise for A Philosophical Investigation

"A truly intellectual thriller that makes the brain cells as well as the hairs on the back of the neck tingle."--GQ

"The brainest thriller to come along in years...raising questions about knowledge, proof, and reality in unnervingly dramatic contexts."--Kirkus Reviews
