The Impossibles

Randall Garrett

Science-Fiction & Fantasy

It's 1962, and someone is stealing Cadillacs that drive themselves. Not just that - they're vanishing from locked garages, appearing in traffic with no driver, and leaving the police completely baffled. Enter Kenneth Malone, the FBI's reluctant expert on the impossible, who's just woken up on a Manhattan sidewalk with a splitting headache and no memory of how he got there. The only thing he knows for certain is that his own car has been stolen - a red Cadillac, naturally. As Malone investigates, he discovers this is no ordinary car theft ring. A teenager gang called the Silent Spooks seems involved, but they appear as baffled as everyone else. More troubling still, locked rooms are being emptied of their valuables while witnesses claim the thief simply walked through walls and vanished. Malone must piece together what's happening before more impossible crimes pile up - or before his own memory fails him entirely. It's a wonderfully absurd pulp premise executed with wit and charm, perfect for readers who enjoy clever capers and light science-fiction adventure.
