Geiger has a gift: he knows a lie the instant he hears it. And in his business--called "information retrieval" by its practitioners--that gift is invaluable, because truth is the hottest thing on the market.

Geiger's clients count on him to extract the truth from even the most reluctant subjects. Unlike most of his competitors, Geiger rarely sheds blood, but he does use a variety of techniques--some physical, many psychological--to push his subjects to a point where pain takes a backseat to fear. Because only then will they finally stop lying.

One of Geiger's rules is that he never works with children. So when his partner, former journalist Harry Boddicker, unwittingly brings in a client who demands that Geiger interrogate a twelve-year-old boy, Geiger responds instinctively. He rescues the boy from his captor, removes him to the safety of his New York City loft, and promises to protect him from further harm. But if Geiger and Harry cannot quickly discover why the client is so desperate to learn the boy's secret, they themselves will become the victims of an utterly ruthless adversary.

"Sometimes the truth can be torture"...well it certainly can if Geiger is the one "interviewing" you!

It will be no surprise to learn that Geiger is a man with a mysterious past. Indeed, his history is as unknown to himself as to the reader. Recollections of his childhood are triggered after Geiger "rescues" a twelve year-old boy (Geiger has three rules, one of which is not to work with children (or should that be on children?) Little by little things start to be revealed & the reader is allowed a taster of what has made Geiger into the man he has become.

The story moves at a fast pace & I positively devoured it. I liked the style, loved the characters & am hooked enough to want more - bring on the next instalment! Okay, if I was going to get properly analytical I guess there'd be a few faults I'd bring up, after all some events might have been pushing credibility a little, but overall it had me gripped so it did it's job. Spot on ;o)
