X Y Z

This is a short novella by one of my favorite authors. Despite its length, it still feels quite solid and complete—except that the narrator tells us his story and never his name.

This unnamed government agent is in pursuit of a lead on a counterfeiting case when he stumbled headlong into a crime in progress! He steps into the very shoes of the person being framed for the crime, with some interesting results. There are more twists and turns than a fall corn maze, and it remains interesting throughout.
