"Tom Peterson sat tall behind his desk. He wore tailored jeans, zippered boots, an aquamarine Ben Sherman shirt, and an aquamarine tie bearing large white polka dots. His blond hair was carefully disheveled. His hands were folded in his lap. Spero Lucas, seated in a chair before the desk, was dressed in slim-cut Dickies work pants, a plain white T-shirt, and Nike boots. Lucas, Petersen's investigator, took in the criminal attorney's outfit with curiosity and amusement.
"What is it?" said Petersen.
"Your getup," said Lucas. "There's something about it."
"I only wear a tie when I'm in court."
"Something else."
"Think of your father. It'll come to you." Peterson looked down at the contents of a manila file that was open on his desk. Beside it sat other files heaped inside a reinforced hanging folder. The package was thick as a phone book. "Let's get back to this."
