I Am Pilgrim1There are places I'll remember all my life-Red Square with a hot wind howling across it, my mother's bedroom on the wrong side of Eight Mile, the endless gardens of a fancy foster home, a man waiting to kill me in a group of ruins known as the Theatre of Death.

But nothing is burned deeper in my memory than a walk-up in New York-threadbare curtains, cheap furniture, a table loaded with tina and other party drugs. Lying next to the bed are a handbag, black panties the size of dental floss, and a pair of six-inch Jimmy Choose. Like their owner, they don't belong here. She is naked in the bathroom-her throat cut, floating facedown in a bathtub full of sulphuric acid, the active ingredient in a drain cleaner available at any supermarket. Dozens of empty bottles of the cleaner-Drain Bomb, it's called-lie scattered on the floor. Unnoticed, I start picking through them. They've all got their price tags still attached and I see that, in order to avoid suspicion, whoever killed her bought them at twenty different stores.
