Perhaps an accomplice of the lockpicker could be the main character. Maybe someone who is forced to work with the lockpicker or has a complex relationship with them. This character could provide a different perspective on the lockpicker's actions and the crimes being committed.
Well, it's most likely the lockpicker themselves. They would be at the center of the story, with their actions driving the plot forward.
Often, in such a crime novel, there would be the theme of secrecy. The lockpicker has to keep their identity and skills hidden from the authorities. And there might be a theme of power as well, since the ability to pick locks gives them a certain kind of power over locked places and things.
The main character could be the lock picker himself. He would be at the center of the story, using his unique skill to either commit crimes or get involved in some sort of mystery.
I have no idea as I'm not familiar with this particular 'rrowlings' 2015 crime novel. There's not enough information to determine the main character.
Han Solo could be a great candidate. He was a smuggler after all, which is a form of crime in the Star Wars universe.
Well, Cormoran Strike is not just a typical detective. He has his own unique way of approaching cases. He is observant, intelligent, and has a good sense of intuition. He often forms interesting relationships with the people he encounters during his investigations, whether they are suspects, witnesses, or clients.
I recommend the two novels, The Disappeared Killer and Hysteria I. Among them, the criminal methods in The Lost Murderer were brilliant. After the murderer killed someone, he led the police to investigate the case. No matter what, he could not clear his name. It seemed like a perfect crime. " Hysteria I " was a story centered around criminals with high intelligence. Criminals used their intelligence to commit crimes.
Perhaps an old wise man. An old character can bring a sense of wisdom and history to the story. He might have a lot of life experiences to share and be a guiding figure for other characters in the novel.
Sasuke could be a great choice. He has that brooding, anti - hero vibe that could fit well in the criminal underworld. Maybe he gets drawn into the crime boss's schemes because he thinks it's a way to gain more power to achieve his own goals.
Draco Malfoy could be a likely candidate. He already has a sense of superiority and family influence. In fanfiction, he could use his family's wealth and connections in the dark wizarding world to start building a criminal empire. Maybe he gets tired of being in the shadow of Harry Potter and decides to take a more devious path.
A detective who has been working on a cold case for 20 years and finally gets a breakthrough.
