1970s America. A hated war slogs on with no end in sight. Racial ferment boils away unseen.Enter Rice Channon, known as the Ratcatcher by law enforcement. He's a small-town police reporter who's been instrumental in helping authorities find killers before. The cops say he has a special gift for sniffing out the bad guys. Now he's pulled into the investigation of an especially brutal murder of a local atheist activist. Not everyone is happy about it. Not the chief of police. Not the mayor. Not Channon's editor. But all of them need him. For different reasons.He's pulled into a world of embezzlement, drugs, rioting, prostitution. And murder. That one especially. And all of it is starting to hit pretty close to home.It's a good thing he's able to see the ghosts of murdered victims. That should help. The dead woman is trying to tell him something.Or maybe he's just crazy, like people say. If he's lucky, his job is the only thing he'll lose.
