“Sandy, the police know what they’re doing,” the lawyer said. “They don’t arrest people for murder precipitously.”

“Of course they do, Jim; they do it all the time.”

“All right, Sandy, what can I do to help?”

“I know you don’t handle criminal cases, Jim, but I expect you know somebody who does, and I want you to get the man a lawyer. Send the bills to me.”

“How much do you want to spend?”

“I want him to have excellent representation; it doesn’t have to be F. Lee Bailey.”

“I know a young guy, Murray Hirsch.”

“Is he very good?”

“He is; he used to be an assistant district attorney. He’s only been in private practice for around five years, but he’s very smart, and I think he’d do a good job.”

“Fine.”

“Do you know where—what’s his name?”

“Thomas Wills. The police told me he assumed that name after serving time for voluntary manslaughter many years ago. His real name is, apparently, Morris Wilkes. He’s at the Nineteenth Precinct, but I don’t know which name he’s being held under.”

“I’ll get right on it, Sandy.”

Sandy said good-bye and hung up. He walked slowly back into the bedroom, where Cara was buried in the Times.

She looked up at him. “What’s wrong? You look awful.”

He sank onto the bed. “They’ve arrested one of the building’s employees for Joan’s murder,” he said.

“That’s wonderful!” she exclaimed.

“No,” he said, “it’s not wonderful.”
