Spenser is in his office reading a biography about the poet Spenser that his girlfriend Susan gave to him when he receives a phone call from a former client. Spenser answers the phone imitating the great detective Allan Pinkerton, but the former client, writer Rachel Wallace, does not find it amusing. Wallace tells Spenser that she gave his name and number to a reporter in Los Angeles, who called requesting the information after having done a story on Wallace a few months before.
