I just read The Impossibles by Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer, in which hard-boiled F.B.I. agent Ken Malone wonders how to capture a gang of teenage car thieves who have the ability to teleport themselves anywhere at any time at will. He is aided by tips received via a genuine psychic who, like all genuine psychics Malone knows, is thoroughly insane. This one believes herself to be the Queen of England. At one point, Malone begins to doubt his own sanity, which gives him some comfort, until he realizes that he is, in fact, quite sane, and that it is the world that has suddenly gone topsy-turvy.
It was a lot of fun to read, although I thought the third quarter dragged a bit, and I will be checking out more books by the late Randall Garrett.
