She must help identify the suicide victim, who prior to his demise had undertaken considerable efforts to eliminate any possible method of establishing his origin or his identity. The professional officers wager that even she cannot accomplish the task, but little do they appreciate the profound depths of her insight or the tenacity with which she pursues her objective. She follows the convoluted path wherever it may lead, and endures mishaps and enjoys adventures along the way, but inevitably achieves her goal.
