Ideas that kill....
This challenging mystery by the author of First Prize brings back Chess Hanrahan, "a thinking man's Mike Hammer".A woman working undercover for the FBI is dead as Russian agents make a grab for a seemingly obscure computer company. Hanrahan, who believes no observable phenomenon is beyond rational scrutiny, plays a high-stakes game with a cabal of social scientists who want to reshape public thought - knowing that ideas can kill.

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

Paul Schumann, a German American living in New York City in 1936, is a mobster hitman known as much for his brilliant tactics as for taking only "righteous" assignments. But then Paul gets caught. And the arresting officer offers him a stark choice: prison or covert government service. Paul is asked to pose as a journalist covering the summer Olympics taking place in Berlin. He's to hunt down and kill Reinhard Ernst - the ruthless architect of Hitler's clandestine rearmament.

Journalist Emily Garland lands a plum assignment as the editor of a niche magazine based in Lount’s Landing, a small town named after a colorful 19th-century Canadian traitor. As she interviews the local business owners for the magazine, Emily quickly learns that many people are unhappy with real estate mogul Garrett Stonehaven’s plans to convert an old schoolhouse into a mega-box store. At the top of that list is Arabella Carpenter, the outspoken owner of an antiques shop, who will do just about anything to preserve the integrity of the town’s historic Main Street.

Ever since disgraced associate Orrie Cather’s suicide, armchair detective Nero Wolfe has relished retirement in his Manhattan brownstone on West 35th Street. Two years after Cather’s death, only a visit from Maria Radovich - and the urging of Wolfe’s prize assistant, Archie Goodwin - could draw the eccentric and reclusive genius back into business. Maria’s uncle, New York Symphony Orchestra conductor Milan Stevens, formerly known as Milos Stefanovic, spent his youth alongside Wolfe as a fellow freedom fighter in the mountains of Montenegro.

Not for me
What disappointed you about Presence of Mind?
Pretty much everything- I actually found the "hero" a pompous, obnoxious jerk; The story has the same feel as old-school detective/film noir classics to me. Its not a style I enjoy and I probably would have never bought the book had I known it incorporated that style.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robert Burke?
I'm not sure who I would have cast, but Robert Burke sounds a bit like he is in an echo chamber at times.
What character would you cut from Presence of Mind?
The only character that had any "presence" was Hanrahan- and I disliked him.
Any additional comments?
I could only make it to chapter 10- so I never finished the book. I found it boring and tedious. Based on the summary, I expected more action. I really wish the summary would include descriptions regarding the style. I have never been a big fan of the early crime/detective novels or film noir. I'm disappointed that I wasted the time on a book that was so disagreeable to me, I couldn't even finish it.
