   Summary

   Despite choosing a safe DMLE desk job to appease his mother, Harry Potter can't resist a mystery. He is absolutely convinced that charming politician Tom Riddle or rather Lord Gaunt is the mastermind behind a sophisticated dark smuggling ring.

   Never mind that nobody else believes him. Or every lead somehow slips through his fingers moments before an arrest.

   Harry doesn't understand why everyone insists he's becoming obsessed with Thomas Gaunt. And if he has taken an interest in Harry as well... well, that's hardly Harry's fault.

   Besides, Harry has kept the one promise he ever made his mother: to stay well away from the rising dark Lord Voldemort's radar
