Homicide has another conundrum ahead, but far from the only one
There is an instructive message in the Bible that man has no idea when his end is near. However, if one is unteachable and stands up to fate, only trouble ensues.
Detective Richard Krauz is here to solve fateful problems. So it was on the memorable day at the turn of the millennium - New Year's Eve 1999. Two hours before midnight he was called to the cemetery to a tombstone spattered with blood. Blood was not the only peculiarity on the grave; more mysterious was the freshly carved date of death - tomorrow, the first day of the new millennium.
At first glance a silly joke, but Detective Krauze laughs when the operations centre tells him that the owner of the grave really died at the first hour after midnight. Fate had played cruelly with him, no matter how meticulously he planned his death, someone had beaten him to it. The man was shot in the back in a manner precluding suicide.
Homicide has another conundrum ahead, but it's far from the only one. The magical night separating the two millennia will bring them more surprises, unfortunately, surprises in the homicide department usually cost someone innocent's life.
