Pat McNab, driven by rage and despair, goes on a rampage after killing his mother and ends up murdering more than fifty people. Or is his whiskey-addled mind merely imagining these murders?

Kojak Foley, and other unwanted snoops who could soon come to regret their inquisitive, nose-poking ways....
