Hugh
Parsley has found murdered on a golf course in a Scottish hotel. His colleagues,
managers of a small but prestigious bank, stay there to sort out some problems.
Detective Flick Fortune’s first case turns out to be much more complicated than
assumed at first glance since the group of bankers is also observed by an
undercover agent, Baggo, who is investigating money laundering at the same
time. A third player in the game will make life even more complicated for the
two.
Unfortunately,
the crime novel could not really convince me. The constant shift between the
murder investigation and the laundering scandal, personal animosities or the like
was more confusing than creating suspense. Additionally, the characters did not
really appear authentic and lively, especially Flick Fortune could not convince
me as a real police detective.
