The mysterious contractor

For the most part in this novel characters have all been lead in very well and described in great detail, but the character that appears in the begining of the fifth chapter does not fit these characteristics.  Wells, the contractor that is a highly skilled man that is contracted to help people get out of bad situations, for example $2 million dollars going missing.  In this novel the man that hires Wells is the rightful owner of the money, he hires Wells to find his money and do it in a quiet way.  Well takes the job and goes out to get the money but that is all the reader really knows about the character.  The author leaves it to the readers imagination as to what Wells looks like and how he acts.   This technique is one of the quirks that makes this novel enjoyable.
