What if a Sam Spade like character was sitting in his office early one morning and a large man he did not know barged in, trying to shoot him? That is the premise of this noir comic detective novel. Rat City is Seattle, circa 1947 and Jake Rossiter, ex boxer, former Marine, is the detective. The book is entertaining, the writing adequate, not brilliant. Aided by his assistant, Miss Jenkins, and several former Marines, hindered by a very corrupt precinct of the Seattle PD, Jake sets out to solve his own case. Recommended
