Stop Look and Dig

In a future city where telepathy has transformed both policing and crime, private investigator Steve Hammond relies on his own limited psychic perception to survive a case that turns deadly from the first ambush. After a hidden gunman stalks him through the streets, Hammond fights back, only to be drawn into a web of murder, extortion, and organized crime that reaches far beyond a single contract. The arrival of powerful esper Lieutenant Williamson and the discovery of incriminating evidence in Peter Rambaugh's apartment suggest that every clue is being watched by minds as dangerous as any weapon. When Martha Franklin, a beautiful mental sensitive, appears at the center of the investigation, Hammond discovers she is not a helpless bystander but a manipulative force with her own secrets and a long history of blackmail. Brutally attacked, tortured, and forced into a deadly bargain, he learns that Scarmann lies at the heart of the conspiracy. In this hard-boiled science-fiction noir, psychic power becomes a tool of seduction, coercion, and justice, while Hammond must outthink enemies who can read his every move.
