Rats in the Belfry

George B. Stoddard builds a belfry with no bell, atop a house that looks like an igloo collided with a mosque. A month after moving in, he calls his contractor with an urgent complaint: the place is plagued with rats.

In a suburban subdivision, contractor Mr. Kermit thinks he has finally finished with Stoddard, whose dream home has tested every limit of architecture—and Kermit's patience. But Stoddard's bizarre house is more than an eyesore: strange sounds are troubling its new residents, and the man who insisted on every odd detail now wants answers. What, exactly, has taken up residence in that impossible belfry?
