Yesterday I finished reading "The Hollow Man" by Oliver Harris.

Nick Belsey, a streetwise policeman, finds out about a huge fraud project in London connected to several killings.
But.
The main fraudster is another policeman who takes the money (an investement from a company abroad) and leaves the country to enjoy it. Belsey allows this to happen. This another policeman also killed someone, yet another policeman who investigated as a private detective and disturbed him in the big fake mansion.

The company abroad invested in casinos and similar dubious kinds of entertainment, something not morally correct, so it was sponging on human weaknesses.

Is this a good reason to steal a big sum of money from such a company ?

The problem was that this company hired a sniper to kill the responsible people. One of the targets and victims was an innocent call-girl though.

That´s why the sniper deserved to die, I suppose.
