“Thomas Lu was sitting in a darkened suite of the Silver Sands Hotel, unaware that the man carrying the very thing he most sought had just minutes before run past the hotel. There were three men in the room with Lu. Two were manning the monitors for the hidden cameras. The third was the man on radio receiver. The image of a shadowy figure running across the bridge connecting the surrender rooms to the pathway was frozen in mid-stride on one of the monitors. Even on maximum magnification there wa...s nothing to identify the man. His face was obscured by greasepaint, a hood and a communications set. There was a gun holstered under his left arm. “Between them, this man and the police have killed six of my men. The police have the others.” The men sitting with Lu nodded but said nothing. They knew all this. The police had five men in custody and another was on his way to hospital with a broken skull. The man on the radio was monitoring the police radio frequency. “Who is he? Who is he working for?”MoreLessRead More Read Less
Grant is a very good writer and his books are excellent. But I see a flaw here. The Australian tourist COUPLE were were noticeable , and certainly the watchers recorded them BOTH. And it highly likely that the crooks would have a picture of all or most of Sami's close staff.
If not then the watchers also must have been at the funeral or observed every attendee, and would have noticed that the "married" couple were there separately. If not, then with him carrying on as a tourist but by himself, it would certainly be noticed. I don't understand this. Also the brother who hid the cassette tape machine must have been seen by the cameras , if not those of the watchers but those of the Institute. being dangerous criminals loaded with cash, they'd have no difficulty in getting to see the camera tapes. They could bribe, or even hold a family member of the one they mark as being able to get them the pictures of where the recorder was hidden.
