Col. Hubbard Christopher's driver in Berlin, Germany, shortly after World War II, Mitchell has been drinking on the day Hubbard is murdered by a hit-and-run driver. Thirty years later, he appears in a docudrama, talking about that day. Hubbard's son, protagonist Paul Christopher, visits Mitchell to learn more. Mitchell reveals that they hypnotize him to enable him to describe Lori Christopher well enough for a police sketch artist to make a rendering. It also helps him remember lost details about why he shoots at the escaping German agent, who has signaled to the hit car by raising a rolled-up newspaper. This detail helps Paul link that murder with his late lover Molly's and suggests a pattern in his life.
