Synopsis
A terrifyingly prescient cult classic by the bestselling author of the Bernie Gunther series.
"Chilling...absorbing...part techno-thriller, part futuristic detective story, part diary of a serial killer."--The New York Times Book Review LONDON, 2013. Serial killings have reached epidemic proportions--even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the "punitive coma." Beautiful, whip-smart, and driven by demons of her own, Detective Isadora "Jake" Jacowicz must stop a murderer, code-named "Wittgenstein," who has taken it upon himself to eliminate any man who has tested posi-tive for a tendency towards violent behavior--even if his victim has never committed a crime. He is a killer whose intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
Praise for A Philosophical Investigation
"One of the more imaginative thrillers in quite a while...Combines teleological speculations with nitty-gritty futuristic police work."--Wall Street Journal "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 ReviewsAbout the Author
