Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

This is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he begins a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.
