Who is Big Ed and who does he want detective Jake Rossiter pushing up daisies? To find out, Rossiter—with the help of his able-bodied girl Friday, Miss Jenkins—digs through layers of vice & violence in Seattle’s seamy underbelly, and he uncovers a case of corruption & prejudice that pits him one-to-one with hysterical dames, out-of-town muscle & the entire Rat City police force.

“A raw, hard-boiled time machine back to blue collar Seattle in the ‘40s, with a jolt of Jackson Street jazz that burns when it goes down, like a good slug of rye. Rat City is fly!” Paul de Barros, author of Jackson Street after Hours: The Roots of Jazz in Seattle.
“With the mere stroke of a pen Curt Colbert may have resurrected the late Sam Spade in the form of one Jake Rossiter.” Norm Harris, author of Fruit of a Poisonous Tree
