The Ragman's Memory
by Mayor, Archer
A small girl brings Joe Gunther a bird’s nest—made partially of human
hair. In the search to put a body, and an identity, to the hair’s 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.
