A fortune sets the story moving
Mysteries about stolen wealth begin with a simple pull. Something very valuable is missing, or is being carried from one place to another, and many people have reasons to want it. The title points to this kind of engine: a single suitcase that holds a fortune.
A container like that gives a writer a useful tool. It can be hidden, swapped, lost or fought over, and each move creates a new question for the reader. Who knows what is inside, and who is only pretending?
In this tradition, the object also acts like a magnet. It draws honest people and dishonest ones into the same place, and the plot grows from the way they collide.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
