Peter F. Hamilton - A Quantum Murder (Greg Mandel #2, epub) [j_ray]

Dr Edward Kitchener, a brilliant researcher into quantum cosmology for
the Event Horizon conglomerate ...but no good to anybody now, lying dead
with his lungs spread out on either side of his open chest. The security
system at Launde Abbey was premier-grade, yet a mercenary could still
have got through, and plenty of people anxious to stop Kitchener's work
would pay the killer's fee. But why would a professional waste time in
ritually slaughtering the target? Event Horizon needs to know fast, so
Greg Mandel, psi-boosted ex-private eye, is enticed out of retirement to
launch himself on a convoluted trail involving confrontation with a past
which -- according to Kitchener's theories -- might never have happened.
