I WENT INTO THE OFFICE EARLY TO TYPE UP MY INITIAL NOTES FOR Nikki's file, indicating briefly what I'd been hired to do and the fact that a check for five thousand dollars had been paid on account. Then I called Charlie Scorsoni's office. His secretary said he had some time free midaftemoon, so I set up an appointment for 3:15 and then used the rest of the morning to do a background check.

A visit to the county clerk's office, the credit bureau, and the newspaper morgue gave me sufficient facts to dash off a quick sketch of Laurence Fife's former law partner. |
