...eyes: great smudged pools, staring like a lover at life and death. The eyes of a Jew, a homosexual, an invalid and an artist-a foreigner to all countries. What was his favorite Dickens novel? Bleak House. How did he like his coffee? Double strength. Was he a generous tipper? He overtipped...

The gimmick is that McCloud is a New Mexico marshal assigned temporarily to take lessons from the New York City police.

Too late, open, demanding eyes will discover the drawing of an outstretched hand where George Washington should be, and instead of an eagle, the straightforward, gloriously embossed message: THIS COIN is YOUR TIP. GIVE NOTHING. GET NOTHING. ZERO CENTS. IT MATCHES EXACTLY THE VALUE...
