Contempt for Caution

Vengeance is the theme focused on the parallel careers of two differently motivated murderers. The manipulation of their strengths and weaknesses by a Private Investigator leads to a climactic collision. A boy is abducted, raped then killed in a Nazi style ritual hanging. Police trace, arrest and charge wealthy, aggressive Erwin who had escaped conviction on previous charges due to manipulations of the law by his shyster lawyer and a slightly bent Vice Squad copper. Under political pressure to obtain a quick conviction, contaminated evidence is submitted to the Court by a haemorrhoid prone prosecutor. Erwin is found not guilty and can never again be tried for the murder. The boy's grandfather, a Licenced Private Investigator, resolves to kill Erwin. The instrument of death he chooses is an enormously prosperous white collar finance criminal who has quietly built a billion dollar property empire and successfully converted his "Black" assets into "White" thereby becoming the "GoIden boy" of finance. A "Handbook for white collar criminals" could be an alternate title. Integral to the career development of the financial criminal are accurately described insurance frauds, medical benefits frauds, and frauds on superannuation funds and the methods of utilising private companies to evade taxation and attention of financial regulation authorities. Unknown to Erwin and the deadly financier, they have attracted official surveillance of two cops, one crooked who fears Erwin; the other squeaky clean but disenchanted. Without attracting Police attention the resolute grandfather contrives to pitch Erwin against the financier in an explosive confrontation aboard a multimillion dollar luxury yacht.
