The sleuths had been following up on this case for several months. Their target was adept at changing getups, and escaping with fake documents. International security and checks had to be tightened up. The volume of the fraud under investigation was in billions of dollars.

A stopover in this country with liberal laws, and a prosthetic foot left behind indicated that their target had started a new life.

Imaginative take, Reena.
