THE RAGMANS MEMORY

A small girl brings Joe Gunther a birds nest-made partially of human hair. In the search to put a body, and an identity, to the hairs owner, Joe comes upon an unexplained death, a grisly murder, and a sudden disappearance. All seem to be entangled in a puzzling web of municipal corruption, blackmail, and industrial espionage. A shell-shocked World War II vet nicknamed The Ragman may hold the key to it all, if Joe can get him to talk before the murderer strikes again._,
