INTRODUCTION
Coming Home by the Long
Way
A few years ago I collected my humorous stories inAll the Way to the Gallows . In my introduction I
admitted that I wasn't best known for writing humor.

This is what I'm best known for writing.

The impetus for this book was a fan suggestion that with surveillance cameras becoming increasingly
prevalent all over the world, it would be a good time to get the Lacey stories back in print. I thought
about the notion.

I only did three stories in the series, in the late '70s. Lacey is a man with all the ordinary human
feelingsтАФwhich he suppresses ruthlessly, as he suppresses everything else that might prevent him from
accomplishing his task. He has no goals, no dreams, no friends; but he's very, very good at his job.
