The Question of the Missing Head

By Jeff Cohen and E.J. Copperman

Book Overview

Samuel Hoenig answers questions for a living. And as a man with Asperger's Syndrome, his unique personality helps him ferret out almost any answer there is. But his latest question is a rather odd one--who stole a preserved head from the Garden State Cryonics Institute? Arriving at the scene of the crime accompanied by his new colleague, Ms. Washburn, Samuel finds that what started out as a theft has escalated to murder. With suspects and motives emerging at a rapid rate, one final question remains--can Samuel's powers of deduction uncover a killer in the face of overwhelming odds?

Customer Reviews

Very insightful and a great read.

Asperger syndrome is a subject I was slightly familiar with so I wanted to give this series a try. I will say the book certainly depicts the lead character properly and with genuine insight. The mystery was well written and very enjoyable. I am on book 3 of the series now.
