Bakker has been mentioned briefly but yes, first time we've met him properly. I'm still nervous about the number of characters in the story, though it is naturally settling into a rhythm with the Chakraborty/Kaminski and Clarke/Styles combos at the moment.
I agree with your beta reader about the statue. Glad you listened. 😊 I’m just now reading so benefiting from the other readers’ corrections. Nice!
Fascinating. I love when characters start pulling at loose ends in a crime story. Good stuff! So the SDC or the koth or both were set up? Hm.
Thanks for reading, Michael! :) Bakker likes a good loose thread, too. Well, he doesn't, but you know what I mean.
City with a hangover. Exceptional imagery to start the chapter!
Typo: Kaminski, paragraph 2, "make sure entrances ARE secured..." Kaminski winking at a bouncer... A clue? Probably me reading too much into a detail.
DI Bakker - a new character to pull a new thread. We'll see where this goes, but trafficking is always ugly.
Thanks, have fixed that typo!

"Clarke wondered if they were going to leave this place with all their bonus unbroken." Bones.
Missed it the first time.
I did think, "Wait, wasn't that sculpture something else?" Better as the God. It strengthened your minor commentary about using random artifacts.
