Castle and Beckett look into the murder of a young mathematician gunned down with a 200-year-old bullet, sparking some wild theories by Castle about a time-travelling killer. When their investigation uncovers a tricked-out DeLorean and a suspect in Victorian clothing, is it possible Castle's crazy idea has some validity? This winding tale twists through the towers of Wall Street and into the world of a secret steampunk society that embraces the romance and simplicity of the past, while coupling it with the hope and promise of the future. ///// Wall Street firm Berman Rose-employee Daniel Goldstein (25) was shot to death and stripped down to his luxury boxers in the park at night. Roland D'Andre hurts Esposito's neck during arrest after his fingerprint is found on Daniel's wallet, but the habitual violent robber denies having hurt Goldstein. The fatal flintlock-type round lead bullet was two centuries old, not fitting Roland's modern gun. Hundreds lost a lot in a novel investment fund devised by Daniel, including collector Ivan Podofski, who owns a fit antique type gun, yet not the murder weapon. Another investment victim committed suicide, his bitter son Troy Kenworth applied for a Berman Rose job. Goldstein's bloody clothes, found on loony vagrant 'Lord Henry', indicate he shot back, apparently which the matching bullet found near his corpse, as if they dueled in Owen Peterson's nightclub's fashion.

Catch-22

In need of something which can only be had by not being in need of it There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. (p. 56, ch. 5)

The novel follows Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier. Most of the events in the book occur while the fictional 256th Squadron is based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea, west of Italy. The novel looks into the experiences of Yossarian and the other airmen in the camp. It focuses on their attempts to keep their sanity in order to fulfill their service requirements so that they may return home. The novel's title refers to a plot device that is repeatedly invoked in the story. Catch-22 starts as a set of paradoxical requirements whereby airmen mentally unfit to fly did not have to, but could not actually be excused. A satirical novel by the American author Joseph Heller. He began writing it in 1953; the novel was first published in 1961. It is set during World War II from 1942 to 1944. It is frequently cited as one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century.[2] It uses a distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient narration, describing events from the points of view of different characters. The separate storylines are out of sequence so that the timeline develops along with the plot. The phrase "Catch-22" has entered the English language, referring to a type of unsolvable logic puzzle.
