Philip Maloney hat einen harten Job: ein Einmann-Betrieb, seine Aufwartung ist auch nicht gerade standesgemäss und vertrauenerweckend, da hilft auch die salopp umgebundene Krawatte aus dem Brockenhaus nicht. Aber er hat seine Trümpfe: bescheidenes Honorar, keine fingierten Spesenabrechnungen und vor allem die Aufklärungsquote von 100% - der Neid des verbitterten Polizisten ist mehr als verständlich.

Es gibt bei Philip Maloney nicht nur komplizierte Fälle aus dem Alltag oder mit simplen Ganoven, sondern auch gefährlichere Mandate aus der Unterwelt. Ein simpler Raubüberfall gehört da noch zu der milderen Sorte, bei einem Raubüberfall auf ein Ladengeschäft mit Todesfolge oder einem kaltblütigen Mord in der Tiefgarage handelt sich um besonders kriminelle und schockierende Fälle, auch schon deshalb, weil die Polizei überfordert im Dunkeln tappt – als letzte Hoffnung für die Aufklärung bleibt einmal mehr nur der erfolgreichste Privatdetektiv: Philip Maloney!

Es geht also in erster Linie um Psychologie, um Emotionen und Grauzonen.
