Kurtzman said. “Hal can ask his contacts to get hands from a donated corpse at George-town’s medical school. Enough people owe the guy favors.” He paused. “I realize the body was donated to science, surely the hands can be sacrificed to a greater good.”

      “As soon as you get the hands,” Bolan went on, “make a set of prints and substitute them for Kunkle’s on AFIS. But first, run them for real to make sure they don’t pop up on their own. If the hands’ former owner was ever printed—criminal record, armed forces, or for any other reason—they’ll pop up double when McFarley has whatever dirty cops he uses check them. And we don’t need that complicating this mess.”

      “Already thought of that,” Kurtzman said. “If the new prints are already on file, I can delete them. Or get another pair of hands on the job . Sorry. Really bad pun, there, I realize.”
