tured into Womrath’s bookstore on Manhattan’s
Lexington Avenue. As he related to New
York writer Tracy Cochran, the two noticed a
very short couple, bundled up in winter
clothes, looking over a copy of Communion
and complaining about how Strieber had gotten
things wrong. They spoke “rapidly in
what sounded like educated Upper East Side
Jewish accents.” When Lee introduced himself
as a William Morrow employee and asked
politely what it was they did not like about
the book, the man ignored him, but the
woman communicated such “complete
loathing, hatred” that the Lees retreated in
shock (Conroy, 1989). They noticed that the
strange couple were wearing large tinted
glasses that did not entirely hide large “dark,
almond-shaped eyes.” Lee later took—and
passed—a polygraph test.
