He  finds  those  bland  pages  useful  for  inducing  the  fitful  sleep  his  insomnia  allows  him.  And  the  fitful  sleep,  in  turn,  helps  to  keep  his  mind  working  on  the  case  at  hand. Investigating  a  suspicious  death  for  his  client  in  Vermont's  Northeast  Kingdom,  he  finds  what  he  calls  a  rat  turd  and  tells  the  client  that  he  doesn't  have  to  find  a  whole  pile  of  rat  turds  to  know  that  a  rat  was  there.  In  the  end,  the  rat  claims  to  be  a  lion,  but  what's  a  rat's  opinion  worth,  anyway? Along  the  way,  Elmer  finds  a  remedy  for  his  insomnia  and  finds  good  cause  to  relocate  his  PI  business  from  Brooklyn  to  Vermont.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Andrew  Dequasie's  day  job  has  been  chemical  engineering.
