"He didn't look like a murderer, he supposed,  in his clean white shirtsleeves and his silk tie and his dark blue trousers, and maybe even his strained face didn't look like a murderer to anybody else. "That's the mistake ,"Guy said aloud, " That nobody knows what a murderer looks like. A murderer looks like anybody!"
