The Stein & Candle Detective Agency, Vol. 1: American Nightmares (The Stein & Candle Detective Agency #1)
“Clayton Cane saw them scurrying under the pushcarts and market stalls which crowded the narrow main street of the poor New York neighborhood. The rats darted from cover to cover, moving like squeaking black shadows into gutters, alleys and the open doors of towering steel gray tenements. They ran under the hooves of horses pulling along carriages and wagons and the feet of pedestrians in the packed street. Cane saw a pair of rats racing over the sleeping form of ragged homeless man curled up in... a stone corner, their claws pattering across his frayed trousers and worn coat. The vagrant slept on, remaining motionless as a corpse even when the rats passed over his face on their way to some rodent destination.
Cane stood out in Van Wessel Street. He was a man of the high plains, a gunslinger, bounty hunter and mercenary of the harsh Western territories. In the cluttered neighborhoods and warren-like alleys of New York City, he was as out of place as a donkey in church.MoreLess
