Our hero neurologist contends with a scheming interior designer, a thief with synesthesia (""an odd condition where sensory nerves seem to cross-communicate"") and an assault on a bipolar antiques dealer and that's just the first day. Punchy prose and a layered plot characterize this New York City romp.
