A gritty return to the mean streets of 1940s Seattle. Rat City's the sort of town where a man can't even be sure of a good breakfast. At least that's what detective Jake Rossiter learns when the homicide-minded Big Ed drops by Rossiter's office one morning to punch our boy's ticket. Rossiter's not one to go out easy, though, and he manages to send Big Ed to the floor with a bullet in his chest. '... good-old-fashioned private eye action, rat-a-tat dialogue, and a colourful depiction of a rough-and-tumble blue collar town miles away from the shiny, happy java-sucking Microsoft town of today.' - Thrilling Detective Website
