    1.

    Does the novel assume that its readers have a working knowledge of the Poe, Doyle, and Christie stories after which its detectives are named? How does this affect its presentation of these literary antecedents?

    2.

    How does the novel differentiate between crime (something that is illegal) and injustice (something that is morally wrong)? Why is this distinction important?

    3.
