Amazing view of a mystery through the eyes of a character with Asperger's

I have never gotten such a good view of what it must be like to have Asperger's as I did with this book.  It follows Samuel Hoenig through his investigation into how a cryo-preserved head from a cryo-stasis facility could have been stolen.  Simon tells the story, and explains how his thought processes are affected by Asperger's and how Asperger's affects other parts of his life.  Both aspects, the mystery and the characterization of Asperger's, are well depicted and complement each other.  E. J. Copperman treats Simon with care and sensitivity, and shows just how capable people with Asperger's are.  I loved it and look forward to the next book in the series.
