His time, he assumed, could be better spent in a thorough rundown of the city’s tattoo parlors in an effort to track down the NAC that had appeared on the second floater’s hand.

One of them had killed Mary Louise Proschek and the second unidentified floater. Brown was interested, at the moment, in con men—not murderers. Carella was interested in tattoo parlors. Kling was a new cop.
