BETWEEN THE BUTTONS (London) catches the roughhewn Rolling Stones playing a little old-fashioned ragtime (Cool, Calm & Collected), but not before getting to business (Let's Spend the Night Together). The jacket photo of the five Stones is blurred at the edges and so is the sound; it keeps unexpectedly sliding a little west of east, without, however, losing a beat.

Though the book contains some formidable obfuscations and heavy-handed symbolism. Peter Israel writes sharp well-paced prose, and he has constructed his story as skillfully as a good mystery writer. What he has written, in fact, is a metaphysical mystery in which psychiatry plays the role of an enigmatic sleuth...
