Mike Hammer:
Highcliff overlooked the Hudson just a few miles above Tarrytown. it was one of the oldest and most exclusive preparatory schools for girls in the country. Ordinarily, I would have skipped the job, but I was tired of being cooped up in the city and I thought it would be good to get out in the country, out where there was some fresh air, open skies, trees...

Mike Hammer:
...but I was beginning to wonder if I would see the forest for the limbs.
