The plots of detective literature are being surpassed by the excess of the great criminals who act in reality. Modern murderers do not need a detective to discover and unmask them, because they themselves, instead of hiding, make public their own crimes.

There is no literary intrigue possible when it is the criminal himself who makes his crime public, nor hope of punishment when governments form criminal organizations, and murderers are treated as heroes. In this early spring, the murderers accelerate their tasks and finalize their killing plans in daylight.
