Actually, the book is called _Mindkiller_ and its by SPIDER Robinson (of
Callahan's fame).  It is really a good book (put out by TOR, I think).
If you've read _Time_Travelers_Strictly_Cash by SR, there is a story about
a burglary in it.  This is the first (or second, I can't remember) chapter
from _Mindkiller_.

WARNING: Spider Robinson is an invertebrate punster! (So slug him :-)
