We may wonder why we are reading a detective fiction or why an author 
may write one, especially IV which appears to resemble Duchamp's 
urinal. What actually is there to detect other than the lies of our 
political leaders?  Get it?

It might be useful to remember that the CIA is just the US 
President's private army. No big deal.  There are a number of other 
three letter agencies.  DIA and NSA for starters.
