Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Impossibles" by Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers around Kenneth Malone, an FBI agent, as he investigates a peculiar case involving stolen red Cadillacs that appear to have strange, self-driving capabilities. As Malone delves deeper into the bizarre occurrences surrounding these cars, he finds himself at the intersection of mystery and intrigue, suggesting a theme that blends crime with technology. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Malone as he awakes on the sidewalk in New York City, suffering from a head injury with no memory of how he ended up there. Through a series of encounters with police officers and reflections on his situation, Malone begins to piece together a strange and convoluted crime involving the mysterious red Cadillacs. He learns of an odd connection between the car thefts and a group of local teenagers known as the Silent Spooks. As he navigates through the chaos, while grappling with his injury and the intricacies of the case, Malone's journey sets the stage for a humorous yet suspenseful exploration of this unique investigation.
