Plot Summary of Rodenticider
"The story follows Bethany, a new pest control inspector into an adventure involving a strange man who has a very large rat problem. In fact, Keterick, a police "Rodenticider" from the Inner Earth, has a mission to secure assistance from the Outer Earth (our world) for the eradication of rats – sixty-pound rats – before they eradicate us! Keterick, mistaking Bethany for an expert police killer of pests, and Bethany, thinking Keterick a psychopathic killer, struggle against each other, different lifestyles, and rats to save both worlds. And who knew that a rat could be hero material?"
D. P. Roseberry, Resident Scholar
