This book is dedicated to my dear friend Bernie Wohl, a hero of the city Justice, like lasting love, is rare but not impossible. Both depend on the courage and diligence of one enlightened person. Jean le Malchanceux A Crusader's Journal In Houston, Texas, in the early winter of 1985, a petty thief named Virgil Freer devised a scheme to bilk the chain of Kmart stores. Using a bootleg electronic pricing gun, he drastically lowered the bar codes on such items as expensive fishing equipment and lawn mowers, bought the goods in one branch of Kmart and then returned them in other branches for a full refund. Like most crooks with a workable scam, Virgil Freer did it once too often. He was arrested, jailed. Virgil was a small, wiry man with pale eyes and yellowed teeth, and skin that had the rubbery translucence of a jellyfish. He seemed beaten down by life, humbled, pitiable. A redneck who chewed tobacco, said "aw shucks" and "consarned," Virgil made inquiries around the Harris County Jail from the knowledgeable inmates.
