Über diesen Titel

In a world policed by telepaths, Ben Reich plans to commit a crime that hasn't been heard of in 70 years: murder. That's the only option left for Reich, whose company is losing a 10-year death struggle with rival D'Courtney Enterprises.

Terrorized in his dreams by The Man with No Face and driven to the edge after D'Courtney refuses a merger offer, Reich murders his rival and bribes a high-ranking telepath to help him cover his tracks. But while police prefect Lincoln Powell knows Reich is guilty, his telepath's knowledge is a far cry from admissible evidence.

From my understanding and search online while listening, the author uses typography and layout to show telepathic communication. The audiobook makes no attempt to differentiate normal speech and telepathic communication, so most of the time you keep wondering which one is which if the text doesn't say explicitly. I guess using a simple audio effect for telepathy would have done the trick and make things easier.
I also didn't really enjoy the voice of the narrator, hard to explain- there is something "whiny" in his tone when he raises his voice, which I found very annoying over time.

Probably a bit more enjoyable in printed form..
