The two-page hand-written note, which contained no demands for money but instructions for 18-year-old Madeleine Pulver to contact the perpetrator via the internet, was signed Dirk Struan.
Police said the note was the most crucial piece of evidence being used by investigators to track down the culprit. They were also examining a USB stick left inside the fake bomb.
Struan is the lead character in James Clavell’s book about a wealthy and violent businessman who is bent on destroying his rivals.
He is described as a “pirate, an opium smuggler, a master manipulator of men, a ruthless intriguer and a mighty lover.”
In the book, which police hope will shed light on the identity of the man behind the bizarre attack on Miss Pulver, Struan and his business rival Tyler Brock use extortion, threats and violence in an attempt to get the better of each other.
