Publisher's Summary

It doesn’t take an engineering genius to interpret the meaning of the drowned rat found hanging from Barry’s doorknob. Barry is an engineering genius but doesn’t need much brainpower to decide that this is another escalation in a strange case of mistaken identity.

Barry has been receiving the venomous notes for a while. The message attached to the rat warns, “This is what I do to rats like you, Jimmy!”

Meanwhile, Val, Barry’s best friend and a special agent with the FBI, is on the hunt for a different kind of vermin. There’s a mole in the FBI Kansas City office. Two of his confidential informants have gone missing, and all of his case files have been destroyed. As he gets deeper and deeper into the mole hunt, Val finds a strange connection to his old friend Barry.

When Barry tries to get to the bottom of the mysterious messages, his stalker uses social media to launch a smear campaign against him. Barry begins to fear for his life. He sees sinister figures around every corner. Someone has it out for him and will go to unbelievable lengths to get rid of the man he thinks is a rat!
