Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem features Lionel Essrog. A walk on the wild side of Brooklyn's criminal underclass with a hero known as "The Human Freakshow," a would-be detective also answering to the name of Lionel Essrog. Essrog is a victim of Tourette's Syndrome; hapless and veering out of control, he fights himself and his disease. He is part of L&L detective agency with the other Minna Men - pulled out of St. Vincent's Home for Boys by Frank Minna. When Frank is killed Lionel is compeled to find out who did it. He finds Zen Budda's, mafia men and giants. We see this all from his perspective. An interesting book, I listened to it on CD and it was tough as his Tourette's is part of the dialog. There really isn't a conclusion but rather a realization of betrayal and can you really trust anyone?
