Foul Play speaks of the fish who have grown big in the sea of corruption. Reading the book takes you back in time, to the hot-house origins which in time have incubated such a frankenstein monster that seems to have almost everybody in its grasp. For this very reason, the book also fosters a sense of disassociation: Corruption is what other people do, the 'they' people, somewhere on the top, manipulating the system and growing rich beyond the wildest expectation.
