"Mystery" is his best. Tom and his grandfather Lamont, experience an immediate, subliminal meeting of mind and spirit, though Tom does not become cognizant of their kinship for quite some time. I have to confess to some confusion in some sections of the plot, but it plays itself out with subtlety and holds one's interest to the end.
A brilliant, young boy is almost killed. As he grows up, he becomes obsessed with death and particularly two unsolved mysteries.
