chapter 4
ellioti wakefield went to work at caesars casino -hotel on lake tahoe boulevard at 10:00 .pm on friday night , dressed as usual in baggy khaki shorts and vans snreakers from his MIT days . the night had a flat , metallic smell to it , the strem of light along both sides of the slow-moving line of cars could almost have passed for palaces and pulic buildin in some grand european metropolis tjhat had miissed being bombed in world war II .
but stateline wasn't a real city , it was slow robbery in a mountain town dressd up with lot of liquor and eyeliner , and , and those weren't palaces , they were casinos . novenber had srrived , and it was cold after dark , as he climed out of the subcompact , handing the keys to a valet older than he was , a couple of very young hookers sashayed by in black leATHER MINIS . HE WALKED ACROSS THE PORTICO , JAMMED HIS HANDS INTO HIS POCKETS . AND IGNORED THEM .
HE DIDN'T LIKE TAHOE , BUT HE 'd been flying here for years . he entering the imposing glass doors of the casino and the stark air-conditioning caught him .
