In a world in which the police have telepathic powers, how do you get away with murder?
Ben Reichs heads a huge 24th century business empire, spanning the solar system. He is also an obsessed, driven man determined to murder a rival. To avoid capture, in a society where murderers can be detected even before they commit their crime, is the greatest challenge of his life.
But just painfully misogynistic, successfully makes our characters unlikable but to no greater end, and not believably constrained to its premise of a future without murder.
