His first call was to Fort Smith, Canada. A distraught woman’s voice answered the telephone. “Yes?”

“William Mann, please.”

The voice said, tearfully, “I’m sorry. My husband is … is no longer with us.”

“I don’t understand.”

“He committed suicide.”

Suicide? That hard-headed banker? What the hell is going on? Robert wondered. What he was thinking was inconceivable, and yet … He began making one phone call after another.

“Professor Schmidt, please.”

So far as I can see, my only plan will be to keep my knowledge and my fears to myself, and my eyes open. I a
