LibraryThing member BruceCoulson
An interesting mix of near-future science fiction and detective fiction. Gil is a likable character, with just enough flaws to make him real.

First two stories very good, the last less so

This book consists of 3 sequential detective stories about a "3-armed" detective (2 real and 1 psychic) in the future. Good puzzles and satisfying denouements. These aren't "gripping" stories, but they do engender a need to finish them, just to learn the culprit.
