Improbable by Adam Fawer (Mass Market Paperback)

Improbable is Adam Fawer's award-winning debut thriller, a fast, cerebral story that blends probability theory, physics and pulse-pounding action.

David Caine is a brilliant former statistics teacher with a gambling problem and a severe seizure disorder. An experimental drug intended to treat his condition leaves him with a startling side effect: he begins to see the possible outcomes of events before they happen. That ability makes him a target for people who want to use it at any cost.

Inventive and relentlessly paced, it is a great pick for fans of smart, idea-driven thrillers.
