Finder, a writer for the New Republic and Atlantic Monthly , published his first novel, The Moscow Club (Viking, 1991), to wide acclaim. In this follow-up, a post-Cold War thriller, a medical breakthrough allows a reluctant CIA operative to read people's minds.
YA-A sci-fi espionage caper filled with explosive action. A former CIA agent, who became a patent attorney following his wife's brutal murder, is sucked into the spy business again after an especially powerful MRI turns him into a mind reader. After many fake deaths, double and triple agents, and lots of economic and political sabotage, the story ends with small news clips that hint at the well-being of all major characters (the ones who appeared to have been blown away earlier). In an intriguing end note, Finder relates an interesting historical tidbit about ``a fortune in Soviet gold [that] remains missing to this day'' that the story is based upon. He also mentions that psychic research has long fascinated the CIA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and Soviet intelligence, leaving readers with ponderable issues to muse over.-Bunni Union, Geauga West Library, Chesterland, OH
