A psychiatrist is drawn into mystery and murder after meeting a new patient, a young man who claims to be working for leprechauns. Mildly successful when first published, and rediscovered by the Brits in the 70s, who admired (then overstated) its psychological components, it's really all about the mystery, which is unusual and intriguing, and features along the way such things as Percheron horses being left at murder scenes, amnesia, and torture.
