He was frisked and escorted to a crowded office, where, through the thick haze of cigar smoke, he was faced with a group of five men who lounged on chairs arranged around a large central desk. They wore bright neckties and sported diamond rings on their pinkies. Hotch was offered a seat, a cigar, and a glass of Sambuca. Hotch loathed Sambuca, but he downed it bravely.

When decked out for a night at Boston’s swankiest cigar bar, armed with a brandy snifter, he prefers his eggshell button-down Oxford and tastefully tartan tie from J. Press. One day, his American Government degree will land him a stint in London negotiating real estate deals, a yacht named after his childhood golden retriever Sebastian and a wife...
