Mateo's pseudonym


Is there any relevance to Mateo's alter ego being called "Harry Cain"? It sounds like one of those joke names like Jo King or I P Freeely. Harry Cain/Hurricane. Thoughts?

I'd suggest it comes from Michael Caine and his character from the Ipcress File and its sequels, Harry Palmer. Makes sense given Matteo is a director and classic film lover.

Reminded me of James M. Cain, author of such hard-boiled novels as Double Idemnity, Mildred Pierce and The Postman Always Rings Twice, which of course all became films. Cain even worked as a Hollywood screenwriter at one point.
