Denver book-dealer Cliff Janeway isn't looking for any adventures, particularly those involving Ruel Pruitt. But Pruitt pulls him in with the hook of a heretofore unknown edition of Poe's The Raven from Darryl Grayson's specialty press. It seems that a Seattle woman (intriguingly named Eleanor Rigby) is involved in some way with the missing book. Janeway hops a plane to Seattle looking for Rigby and upon finding her, decides she is much nicer than Pruitt. He chooses to ally with Rigby and in doing so gets involved in a tangled mystery involving Grayson's very limited edition, a shadowy stalker, the creepy Pruitt, and the enigmatic legacy of Darryl Grayson and his brother Richard.

On a rainy evening in the spring of 1967, Old Jerry hunkers on his bar stool like a liquor-soaked question mark...
So begins the story of Old Jerry, seventy years old, a lifetime drunk, and ready to die. His grandson Charlie has troubles of his own: the scars of a father`s rage, a juvenile record, and brother P.T., who lives in another world with the ghost of their long-dead mother. When Old Jerry fails to show up for his birthday party at McGurk`s Tap Room, these two young men are the first to ask questions. But the discovery of the old man`s body in a nearby lake will send one off to war in Vietnam-and everyone else to pick up the pieces. Set in the dusky world of a working-class Midwestern city, The Mercy Killers tells a chilling story of actions taken in the name of love, and of histories spun from unspeakable pasts. Sharply written and stylistically brilliant, The Mercy Killers I a wonderful novel of crime with an authentic human story at its heart.

A model student at an English public school is falsely accused of smoking pot when the boys who dislike him (practically the whole school) sneak some marijuana into his room. But another compromising object also happens to be in his possession, and when it's discovered, along with the pot, events follow a comically unexpected path that, after a series of farcical events, ends up avenging him on his tormentors.
