Tod Goldberg eyes his brother, Lee, with well deserved suspicion while Bill Rabkin (center) visualizes a disturbing image of rowdy livestock mentioned by Tod. Lee, meanwhile, contemplates the cookies he will devour following this interview/signing.

Jordan Barer, Tod Goldberg, and several of Tod's chins re-unite.

"The authorities were seeking Sara Paretsky who cleverly slipped out the back door with Joel Fox," explained the man who came in to ask directions to Starbucks. He readily admitted that he had no idea on what subject the intruders were supposedly authorities.
