The building manager, Liz H., whose apartment was next to his on the ground floor, recognized that sweet, sickening smell. She was familiar with the way it clogged the senses and permeated the skin so that it was still there after a dozen vigorous scrubbings. With a shaking hand, she picked up the phone and dialed 911.
