Stories begin in many different ways for Randy Stone who covers the night beat for the Chicago Star. There has been a homicide at the high-class building of Allied Investment Limited. Rumor says the company makes more money investing in racehorses than it does in bonds. When Randy spots a good healthy honest face, whom he recognises as the electronics professor Keifer who he’s done an article on 3 years ago, being interviewed by the police he knows he is out of place here and Randy knows that to get your story you must never follow what fits and only follow what doesn’t go together, follow the contradictions.
