Over the years I have been suspected of a lot of things by various authorities, from corrupting a cop by buying him a drink to complicity in a murder, and that day they added a new one to the list. None of them came right out with it, but what was really biting them was their suspicion that I was in collusion with the United States government.
— Archie, contemplating a turf battle between the police and the Treasury Department, in "Counterfeit for Murder," chapter 8
