The New York office in 1943 thrums with a low, urgent energy—typewriters clacking, telephones jangling, voices hushed over news from the front. At a corner desk, Alistair McCray is a study in focused isolation. His ginger hair catches the weak overhead light as he bends over a stack of briefs, his pale blue eyes scanning each line with an intensity that masks the shyness of a man only two months into his career, an ocean away from home. The air smells of ink, cigarette smoke, and quiet tension.
