Several neurological mysteries of the human brain get treated with a compassionate, highly fascinating, and very readable touch. Dr. Sacks describes a number of different cases wherein a patient loses a critical function of their mind. One woman, when her hands are placed behind her back... well, you need to read about this for yourself. What I love is that Oliver Sacks is a terrific writer, so his work in the hospital becomes a literary treat for me. Plus, his patients become lovable and uniquely human.

When the police tell a wealthy industrialist that her missing son and his girlfriend have faked their own kidnapping, she hires Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. Cole soon determines that it was no fake and the couple are now lost in the gray and changing world of professional border kidnappers, who not only prey on innocent victims but also on one another—buying, selling, and stealing victims like commodities. Fortunately, the kidnappers don't yet know who the boy is, but when Cole goes undercover to try and buy the two hostages back, he himself disappears. Now it is up to Pike to retrace Cole's steps, burning through the hard and murderous world of human traffickers . . . before it is too late.
