* {{Homage}}: In ''Dogs Of Riga'', our protagonist travels to a foreign country, and the first thing he does there is to attend the funeral of an acquaintance involved in mafia, corruption and black marketeering. There, he meets the late acquaintance's girlfriend and a very suspicious-looking local chief of police. I can't believe it's not ''Film/TheThirdMan''. (Bonus points for taking a stroll with said girlfriend on a rather long stretch of cementery lane.)

Also turns out that he has been doing this for ages and has gotten away with it by also capturing other pedophiles himself.
