"He'd said the noises were finally too much for him. Said he couldn't sleep with the constant scritching and scratching in the walls and over the floors."
In "Revenge of the Roach King", an exterminator is called to the apartment of his brother Jerry, who is having one of the worst infestation problems ever seen.
But as his brother investigates the building, a mystery begins to unfold, and a possible explanation as to the origins of the roach problem in Jerry's apartment, unbelievable as it may be. It seems Jerry was recently involved in a deal that went bad, which resulted in the death of one of his partners, Ronnie. Ronnie may be gone, but he had about a million silent partners of his own, and it looks like they've come for his share.
If you hate things that go creeping in the night, "Revenge of the Roach King" is sure to keep you awake long after the lights go out.
