Over drinks in the lobby of Washington’s Willard Hotel, the veteran agent Bill Quinn starts telling stories of the cases he has worked. They range across counterfeiters, a theft from the Mint, the Ypiranga affair, a clue on shelf 45, a glamorous woman smuggler, coded messages and a hidden still, each based on a real investigation.
