One of your informants contacts you by telephone. He says he wants to see you immediately. He claims knowledge of more than

two dozen burglaries committed in your city. He offers the information despite threats against his

own life. Your job, investigate. The latest Fatima sales report shows thousands and thousands of king-sized cigarette smokers are switching to Fatima.

For the month of October, coast-to-coast actual figures show Fatima sales are up 110% or more than double.
