At the time this thing started

I've put down everything I saw and everything that was said just the way it happened. It can all be checked against this account I am writing now. It's all true.Every word of it. So help me God.Before we go any further, I'd better tell you who I am. My name is Leo Resnick.I'm thirty-five years old and, at the time this thing started,I was a partner in the Manhattan law firm of Gutzman,Schonfeld and Resnick.

The firm specialises in corporate legal work but occasionally handles divorce suits for its more favoured clients.I was supposed to be making good as a claims attorney. How true that is, is not for me to say, but they put my name on the door last Christmas so I guess I must have been doing something right.
