Meyer Culpa
by Paul Grist
Detectives Lovett and Marsh interrogate Meyer, the bank employee who stole from the bank where he works (see Kane 5) and then presumably returned the money before anyone could figure out that it was missing.
They ask him all sorts of questions. He thinks about what happened but tells the detectives nothing. Meyer had dreams of stealing money from the bank and what it would buy him.
The police let him go after the actual bank robbers surface. He gets to return to his job at the bank, a hero. He could care less about that. His dreams of women, fast cars, and lots of money go out the window as the story ends and he returns to his miserable job at the bank
Kane, Kate Felix, Oscar Darke, and many other regular characters in this series are not present in this issue.
This is more greatness from Paul Grist. Meyer does not respond to the questions that Lovett and Marsh ask him but he also doesn’t utter a single word in this issue. He is silent in the present, in his dream world, and in his recollections of the recent past.
