Klund could be the individual in possession of the letter or a group. It might even be the name of a business. It could be a common hoodlum, or a corrupt cop, or even a fence. It seems like an impossible task, just going off a name. But, you already know that Klund is mixed up in some less than reputable business, which narrows things somewhat, even in Los Diablos. They're probably not going to be someone living in High End, for instance, or a reputable bookstore or charity. And Klund is not a common name. North Continental, which means that there won't be many of them in Los Diablos, not after the winters of '55. You've had tougher jobs before. And, of course, Klund isn't missing. So you shrug your shoulders and get to work.
The first stop is of course the Yellow Pages. There's usually one in the cleaner phonebooths dotted around the city, and you soon find one after walking down the street from Carruthers and sons. Flipping through until the page "K" you find what you're looking for. Lucky you, the list is on a two-sided page. Ripping it out, you fold it and place it in your waistcoat's inner pocket, and head out into The City.
Several of them you can discard immediately. Klund's Fine Pens and Ink. Henrik Klund, stockbroker. Klund Academy of Higher Education. Working your way down the list you eliminate around half of them, with the rest remaining to be verified. And that of course is a simple matter of asking around, visiting the more popular bars and public spots, subtly quizzing the known Mob associates, making a few calls to the people or businesses, methodically working your way through the list. It's long work, and by the time you're done it's late afternoon and you've spent a bit of money on bus rides and phonecalls.
