SF Masterworks: The Demolished Man

More about the book

In the 24th century, telepaths are integrated into all levels of society, but that won’t stop business mogul Ben Reich from committing murder—a crime that has not occurred in 70 years. A tense tale of how Reich—having bribed a telepathic psychiatrist to help him—plays a cat-and-mouse game with police prefect Lincoln Powell in a desperate attempt to escape the punishment known as “demolition.” [Winner of the Inaugural Hugo Award for Best Novel.]
