Augustus "Gus" Belmont was your typical commercial airline pilot. Late forties, divorced with one kid, he lived life as he saw it. The only problem:<br>he was dying. And, Gus was a Rat.<br><br>Kristin Belmont was Gus's daughter–smart, beautiful, a college senior with the entire world ahead of her. She was not a Rat–though she could see and talk with ghosts.<br><br>Gus faced his mortality with ticked off stoicism, but he really wanted closure for two twenty-five-year-old mysteries: Why did his one true love disappear before their marriage? Was he guilty of causing another Rat's death?<br><br>Love, murder, mystery, ghosts. Add the Civil War and Vietnam conflict to the brew, a soupcon of the great military college–Virginia Military Institute with its Brother Rat Cadet Corps–and you have SHOES.
