It was a recommendation, but I can't remember from where. The narrator is completely blind due to a gunshot wound to his head, but believes he can see at night. This alone seems like it would make it attractive to Wolfe fans, so I'm thinking I must have heard of it from someone on this list. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, I feel there's something hidden in there that I can't quite figure. Immediately upon finishing the last page I wanted to go back and read it again--a feeling I get every time after reading Wolfe. I'm wondering if anyone else had read it recently and would like to discuss? Greg ---
