CHAPTER 1<br >I didn t have much trouble finding Paul Ellman s new busi-<br >ness address. It was one of those trim and sterile black glass<br >monoliths that dwarf the colorful walks and shops of Cen-<br >tury City. The last time I had worked a case for Paul, he had<br >been located oil the corner of Third and Broadway, just a<br >hop, skip, and jump from the Hall of Justice, tile New<br >County .Jail, and half a dozen all-night bail bondsmen. But<br > about six months ago, Paul and his parmer, Larry Stein-<br > berg, had decided to forsake convenience for appearance<br > and had made tim move. I couldn t blame them, really, not<br > in this age of conspicuous consumption. It was just that it<br > was a long haul ti om my own office.<br > I walked through the l()bby, past an eight-foot-high metal<br > sculpture that looked like a tornado in a junkyard, to the<br > live pairs of stainless steel elevator doors that lined the<br > marble wall opposite the entrance, and pressed the UP<br > button. When I stepped out onto the fourth floor, nay al-<br > ready-splitting head was ringing with the lilting, 46-violin<br > version of "Shenandoah" I d been treated to on the way<br > up, and I groped my way down the hallway looking for<br > Suite 409. I ibund it and went in.<br > The couch-lined waiting room was large and plushly<br > decorated in soft browns and golds and the frosted hair of<br > the receptionist blended right in. She looked up from her<br > desk and smiled.<br > "May I help you?"<br > "I have an appointment with Mr. Ellman."<br > 1<br >
