Page 398 "Lucian's body appeared on the doormat of the 115th Precinct"

From page 398 of the book:  Lucian's body appeared on the doormat of the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights, Queens, at four o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day.  It was a mystery to the police as to who brought him.  He was covered with numerous bruises and cuts all over his face, neck, arms, hands, and legs.  His clothes were torn and saturated with dirt, blood, and grease.  It was a further mystery as to how his body was dumped in front of a police station without anyone seeing the delivery.  The desk sergeant was as angry as he was embarrassed, or he was angry because he was embarrassed, having been caught off guard with the results of an unrestrained assault placed on his doorstep under the noses of his entire staff.  He screamed for God to save him from the wrath of his captain, as he ordered Lucian to be taken to Elmhurst Hospital and admitted without delay.
