Sam Kelson has a problem. Because of an injury to his head, he is "disinhibited". It is difficult for him to stop talking, and especially difficult to not tell the truth. For a private detective, these are not good traits. But they make for interesting reading, as presented here.
I don't know anything about the medical condition Sam has, but to me the consequences seem realistic, at least as drawn by Wiley. I expect that a person who is disinhibited may have even less control than is exhibited by Sam, but I can accept his case as believable.
Sam is hired by a woman to look into her brother's use of drugs. Or at least that is what she says. When Sam shows up at the brother's apartment and finds more than he was looking for, he has reason to believe he's been set up. Additional incidents only solidify this theory.
The novel quickly escalates to a high level of violence. Not my favorite aspect to the story, but there is enough here anyway to have kept me reading.
