A friend of mine died under very mysterious circumstances, his death being attributed to suicide: a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
But the reasons and circumstances surrounding his death never made sense. Everyone smelled a rat, and the police were frustrated due to a complete lack of evidence.
That would form the basis of a novel. In fact, it really, really should.(less)

“Risso laughed. “You’re kidding, right? Man, you Judges
got all this fancy tech”—he waved at the screens—“but
you ain’t got the first idea how to be a cop. You use dogs
to hunt dogs, not computers.”
Joseph Elliott-Coleman, JUDGES: The Patriots

“Girl had a gift.
Could have used it to make the world shine. ’Stead, she
used it for violence? Damn.” The man’s face twisted with
disappointment and grief. “Goddamn, man. It’s a shame
the way a body can go messing around with your heart.”
“Papa,” said Clarkson. The man looked up. “Way it
be, world heating up. Hearts are growing cold.”
“Way it’s always been, sister Judge,” said Papa
Kenyatta, his voice full of pain. “Way it’s always been.
Some hearts, cold as stone. Others, world makes cold.”
Joseph Elliott-Coleman, JUDGES: The Patriots

“And the moment a population loses hope, at that instant
they become fuel for eternal fascism,’” quoted Clarkson.
“You know... the moment Fukushima died, a light went
out in the world,” Douglas said. “He deserved to see
his words put to good use. Not as lazy justifications for
murder.”
Clarkson laughed laconically. “You don’t need
justifications for that. Just an excuse.”
Joseph Elliott-Coleman, JUDGES: The Patriots

“Do not answer! Do not answer!! Do not answer!!!”
Liu Cixin, Remembrance of Earth's Past: The Three-Body Trilogy

“Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure”
Tacitus

“A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.”
Arthur C. Clarke, The Exploration of Space

“Whether we are based on carbon or on silicon makes no fundamental difference; we should each be treated with appropriate respect.”
Arthur C. Clarke, 2010: Odyssey Two
