Key ideas

• Only a master thief possesses the unique intellect and skills required to track down and outsmart another high-level criminal.
• Appearances are highly deceptive, as the seemingly innocent and helpless accomplice is actually the mastermind behind the entire plot.
• A highly organized bureaucracy can be easily manipulated from within by a single clever operative using forgery and misdirection.
