THE ERIKSCHITZ PRINCIPLE

"It has always been my belief that the smallest of quirks can set into motion huge events, or forestall huge events... for example, how stopping to tie your shoe makes you thirty seconds late to the intersection that you normally cross on your way to work, and thus you avoid being mowed down by a truck whose brakes had just failed..." 



Thus starts the strange story of the ERIKSCHITZ PRINCIPLE, a story of the synchronicity of events between a love-stricken victim of a romance scam, an overweight policeman, a warehouse full of illegal immigrants, one unlucky security guard, an expat American living in Panama, and the disabled lottery ticket seller who touches all of their lives.



When police chief José Fernando recruits his friend Dan Landes to help investigate a case of murder and human trafficking, neither of them expect to find that solving the case rests on the memory of a single mentally-challenged lottery seller.



Robert Rahula, the author of Inauthenticity and Weightless delivers another intriguing Dan Landes Mystery, centered around the exploits of ex-detective Dan Landes from Los Angeles and the two police chiefs from Panama, José Fernando and Jorge Manuel.
