    Macavity’s a Mystery Cat; he’s called the Hidden Paw—
    For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.
