Part of the mystery is figuring out exactly what kind of scam he has going. The bad guy lives in a McCastle within an electronically guarded compound in the countryside. We pretty much know from the start who the bad guy is: a big-time financier and jet-setter who controls a mega-million international corporation. Yet he is supportive of a woman detective who is put down in various ways by most of the other men. He fears the administrative bloat of the system and envisions a day when all the administrators, former police officers, will simply pass paper to each in their offices. He’s also disgusted with the increasing bureaucracy of the system and dislikes the new ways displacing the old.
Our main character is a Swedish detective who is “lost.” He’s on leave suffering from deep depression from having to justifiably kill a man.
