"The Smart Contract Killer’’ by first-time author Walther Steel

Francis J. Barlow is a detective sergeant working at Scotland Yard in a boring desk job. So, when he’s given an actual criminal case, and Europol seeks his financial acumen to help solve it, he jumps at the chance to follow the trail to Singapore.
There he is thrust into a world brimming with food, humidity, excessive traffic, and at the same time must master a new language and culture as he becomes involved in a criminal scheme involving money laundering, tax evasion, blockchains, and cryptocurrency. It seems the deeper he delves into ordering the right dim sum and seducing the beautiful Nancy, the closer he gets to the source of the mystery. But how is it all connected? Who is the skilful international killer who seems to knock off the people involved? And just who can he trust?
A short overview of ‘’The Smart Contract Killer’’ by Walther Steel, alias Freiburger Uwe Hockenjos who studied economics and sinology and lived in Asia for 15 years. Uwe will be joining us this evening to read some favourite excerpts from his book; a book that will give you a firsthand insight into life in this fascinating part of the world. Discover the intriguing life of the man behind the author whose in-depth knowledge of Southeast Asia and finance led him to write this captivating novel.
