Maxwell's Demon
by Steven Hall
Maxwell's Demon is a postmodern adventure with the pacing of a thriller and the twists and turns of a classic whodunnit.
Struggling writer Thomas Quinn has been asked to steal a valuable manuscript from the reclusive, bestselling novelist Andrew Black. But when Quinn’s late father leaves him a voicemail message, and characters from Black’s novel start appearing on the streets, Quinn begins a descent into a twisting mystery that spans a manhunt, fake names, theoretical physics, chaos theory, apocryphal texts, doll’s houses, the power of stories, the magic inside the alphabet and the nature of reality itself.
