Inhaltsangabe
When restaurateur Marco Giordano finds a dying man in his office at three in the morning, the police have an obvious suspect: Marco himself. The victim is Vincent Harker - property developer, leverage specialist, the man who has been quietly assembling the conditions to destroy everything Marco built. The knife is Marco's. The motive appears compelling.
For classics lecturer Alex Moreton, the question is not whether Marco could have done it. It is who needed him not to.
Harker has been holding his system together for three decades - a network of obligations, silences and personal financial arrangements that reaches from the riverfront precinct Marco's restaurant calls home to the upper floors of the university that owns the land. At its centre: a deputy vice-chancellor who stood to receive twelve million dollars from a deal he was supposed to be managing on the institution's behalf.
As Alex traces the architecture of what Harker built and who it trapped, she finds herself watched, warned, and facing the weight of an institution defending itself.
