Chapters 12–16 widen the lens, moving from the streets and sewers of Yokums into offices, courtrooms, newsrooms, and living rooms where everyone has an opinion and nobody has a clear answer. The mystery grows more elaborate, but Avram Davidson keeps it human—showing how power talks past itself, institutions protect themselves, and ordinary people quietly carry the weight of all that confusion. There’s a wonderful sense here of systems grinding on while individuals improvise, dodge, rationalize, and dream their way through the Depression. Humor and menace sit side by side, and the satire sharpens without ever losing its sympathy. By the end, the story feels larger, stranger, and much harder to contain than anyone first imagined.
