Slater Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner washing away the remains of brutal murders and
suicides in Chinatown. The bloody messes don't bother her not when she's already witnessed the
most horrific thing possible: her sister being pushed in front of a train. Before fleeing the
scene the murderer whispered two words: bat eater . Months pass the killer is never caught
and Cora can barely keep herself together. She pushes away all feelings disregards the bite
marks that appear on her coffee table and won't take her aunt's advice to prepare for the
Hungry Ghost Festival when the gates of hell open. Cora tries to ignore the rising dread in
her stomach even when she and her weird co-workers begin finding bat carcasses at their crime
scene clean-ups. But Cora can't ignore the fact that all their recent clean-ups have been the
bodies of East Asian women. Soon Cora will learn you can't just ignore hungry ghosts.
