It's September 1944, the town is 16,000 people deep in wartime dread of poison gas, and for two weeks something no one can catch, photograph, or identify is slipping up to bedroom windows at night, leaving victims frozen, nauseous, and terrified. But the deeper you go, the less sure you get. The "first victims" were named first by a newspaper, which is a strange way to start a crime wave. The attack map doubles back on itself in ways no real prowler would risk. Was it a real gasser, a town that scared itself sick, or a newspaper that built a monster headline by headline?
