Eli Gottlieb, Now You See Him

This book was given to me by my parents' neighbor, to whom Amazon.com had sent an "advanced reader's edition," the first I ever remember reading. As it was a galley, "from uncorrected proofs," there were quite a few errors, which were somewhat distracting. Still, I read the book quickly; the plot was fairly interesting and the language, though at times unconvincing (especially the dialogue) , was relatively eloquent. Overall, however, I was not much impressed, and was left feeling rather disappointed--though glad enough to have finished.
