...thief and vandal might have come from within the ranks. If the perpetrators are assumed to be residents of Straus and Wigglesworth, the FDO's policy has the deleterious effect of making student police their neighbors. Rather than supporting a sense of community, collective responsibility necessitates vigilance and suspicion. Indeed the bills mailed to Wigglesworth residents told the unlucky recipients that they could avoid the charge if they were to become informants...
...Suspicion fell on Stewart after the boy's mother, who has identified herself as "Jennifer," informed police that Stewart told her not to bother asking for child support because the boy wouldn't live very long.

This is especially so since the lad is apparently everything his father is not--clean-cut, eager to please, lovable. But therein lies the story's cunning. For the father recognizes in his son qualities that they share. The son is wily, a demon for work, and not comfortable or clever with women, as he proves by sadly fumbling an office romance as he rises from clerk to partner in a law firm...
