Laurence M. Janifer & Randall Garrett 4 hr 17 min read

The sidewalk is soft as a good bed, and psi-agent Malone drifts through a wonderful dream of a beautiful girl, seven feet tall and superbly muscled himself, until reality, and the FBI, intrude.

Garrett and Janifer's 1960 novel, part of the Kenneth Malone series, is a witty psi-and-social-SF mystery. Fun, breezy golden-age SF. Read it for a genial romp where a telepath-hunting agent's dreamy escapism gives way to a very tangled, very strange case.
