    About this ebook

    Pro Se Productions and Author Jim Beard return you to the horror and terror of Corpus Vile in the second chapter of Beard’s serialized novel Corpus Vile: Death in the City!

    After a devastating assault on the city by a mysterious madman cultivating a “religion of death,” its citizens look forward to the annual Spring Festival to renew and revive their spirits. Disgraced ex-District Attorney Lane Danner has become a hooded vigilante called The Red Judge, an identity he uses to investigate the death-cult’s activities in a train yard, while the city’s Mayor, blind Pat Battle, calls together a taskforce to present a bulwark to the unknown foe who seems to delight in sending sinister messages of doom and despair...But what of those who haunt the shadows, those intent on mayhem and murder? When prominent citizens begin dying, the most important question becomes- Who is bringing Death in the City?!

    Jim Beard’s Corpus Vile: Death in the City- Chapter Two: Rats in the Walls is second chapter of Beard’s serialized novel, a new chapter appearing quarterly and only for 99 cents. A Pro Se Single Shot Signatures series from Pro Se Productions.
