## Snapshot

A wealthy man drawn into the strange affair of the silent bullet, whose fortune and connections make him both a client and a puzzle.

## Who they are

Norton belongs to the moneyed world that keeps producing the book's most baffling cases—the kind of man whose name opens doors and whose secrets close them. His involvement in the silent-bullet mystery puts him at the intersection of wealth, reputation, and violence, the terrain Kennedy works best. He matters because the case that bears his name is the one that tests whether science can outthink a weapon no one hears.
