La conversación
Harry Paul, un detective cuyo prestigio como especialista en vigilancia y en sistemas de seguridad es reconocido por sus colegas en todo el país, recibe el encargo por parte de un magnate de investigar a su joven esposa. Deberá escuchar sus conversaciones con un empleado del marido, del que ella parece estar enamorada. La misión, para un experto de su categoría, resulta a primera vista inexplicable, ya que la pareja no ofrece ningún interés fuera de lo corriente. Sin embargo, cuando Harry da por finalizado su trabajo, advierte que algo extraño se oculta tras la banalidad que ha estado investigando, ya que su cliente se niega a identificarse, utilizando siempre intermediarios.
