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 Reviews
