Crichton having fun. Really loves slang from the era. Maybe too much. Still can't create characters - Pierce is just a part for a movie star, his girlfriend is paper thin, etc. But the detail is wonderful, the research entertaining, the twists clever - sourcing keys, dressing as a dad man to get on the train, etc.
Also while Crichton makes a point that sometimes people just want money it's very clear that a lot of the crime committed by people in this are driven by society.
