Publisher's Synopsis
Ricky Rice is a middle-aged hustler with a lingering junk habit, a bum knee and a haunted mind. The sole survivor of a suicide cult, he spends his days scraping by as a porter at a bus depot in Utica, New York. One day, a letter arrives, reminding him of a vow he once made and summoning him to Vermont's remote Northeast Kingdom to fulfil it. There, Ricky is inducted into a band of paranormal investigators comprised of former addicts and petty criminals, all of whom at some point in their wasted lives have heard something they refer to as 'the voice'...
