Rats in the Walls — Jim Beard

After a devastating assault on the city by a mysterious madman cultivating a “religion of death,” its citizens look forward to the annual Spring Festival to renew and revive their spirits. Disgraced ex-District Attorney Lane Danner has become a hooded vigilante called The Red Judge, an identity he uses to investigate the death-cult's activities in a train yard, while the city's Mayor, blind Pat Battle, calls together a taskforce to present a bulwark to the unknown foe who seems to delight in sending sinister messages of doom and despair…But what of those who haunt the shadows, those intent on mayhem and murder? When prominent citizens begin dying, the most important question becomes- Who is bringing Death in the City?!
