Sam Kelson is a Private Investigator with a diagnosis of disinhibition after he was shot in the head while working undercover in narcotics when he was a Chicago cop. His condition requires pain pills on a daily basis, and more importantly, he cannot control what comes out of his mouth. His thoughts, his feelings, and he cannot lie ... he is incapable. And when asked a question, he absolutely must answer. Surprisingly enough, he's rather good at his job. A woman walks into his office and wants to hire him to investigate her brother ... a pharmacist who may be dealing drugs. And when he tracks down the brother, he's met with quite an eye opener. Kelson is arrested on suspicion of murder ... especially when the cops identify the dead man. And then they learn that his sister wasn't his sister at all. It seems that Kelson has been set up .. but why and by whom? This is a real page turner, filled with action from the very first page. The mystery is nicely paced with suspense that holds one's attention to the the surprising end. Various twists and turns with an occasional red herring make this an excellent read.
