The Questioner by Andrew Vachss
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.20MB
Overview: An original novelette by Andrew Vachss, the author of the acclaimed Burke series. For all secrets created, a tiny percentage is kept against any intrusion. The ultimate extractor of such secrets is the Questioner, a man who has trained himself to become empty, who uses that emptiness to listen fully, to sense what others need to hear and to respond in ways that lead them to reveal their most protected thoughts. Disdaining torture or coercion, he mines those secrets with nothing more than conversation.
For those who meet his price, governments, multinational corporations and the most complex criminal organizations, the Questioner obtains information. The secrets he learns can create or topple empires, win or destroy fortunes, lubricate the gears of the world or grind them to a halt.
But as the Questioner moves from one target to the next, just beyond the outer edge of his probes lurks something dangerous to his own emptiness. It will force him to turn his powers inward, to ask how he became what he is and to find a truth he has never sought.
