A thriller with philosophical twist

A Philosophical Investigation is a perfect read for anyone who loves a good murder mystery with a philosophical twist. Set in a future where DNA detection and brain imaging are commonplace, Detective Isadora Jacowicz sets out to stop a serial killer, code-named Wittgenstein. The book is chilling yet absorbing, and the reader is treated to a glimpse inside the killer's mind. Philip Kerr has done a fantastic job of crafting a story that combines detective work with philosophical musings, making this book a must-read for fans of both genres.

Description

A terrifyingly prescient cult classic by the bestselling author of the Bernie Gunther series. “Chilling...absorbing...part techno-thriller, part futuristic detective story, part diary of a serial killer.”— The New York Times Book Review  LONDON, 2013 . Serial killings have reached epidemic proportions—even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the “punitive coma.” Beautiful, whip-smart, and driven by demons of her own, Detective Isadora “Jake” Jacowicz must stop a murderer, code-named “Wittgenstein,” who has taken it upon himself to eliminate any man who has tested posi­tive for a tendency towards violent behavior—even if his victim has never committed a crime. He is a killer whose intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness.
