The Rat CatcherThe Rat Catcher is a who-dun-it when the doer is cheered on, as The Rat sets out to execute the perpetrators of the Holocaust who received no punishment, or merely a slap on the wrist for their gruesome crimes. The executions are vivid and gruesome, befitting the crimes of the perpetrators. A Hungarian super sleuth and a NYPD senior detective are assigned the task of running down and bringing to justice the serial killer. Their chase runs over three continents, and altogether takes ten years. The never do manage to catch The Rat, and the identity of the serial killer, even after 25 killings (executions) remains a mystery to all but the NYPD detective and the reader. A great story, well told by a retired ciunematographer (SHOGUN his most famous credit) who knows how to lay out a vivid scene. |
