The Piper of Pi is the sixth book in the Pi series. Pi is a tiny town in southern New Jersey, filled with new immigrants as well as the rugged Irish folk that have lived there for centuries. Pi Investigative Services is owned by Raider McLaughlin, a tough former convict who, along with Murjeeb Inamdar and James Dupree, attempt to rid the town of a gang of bicyclists known as the River Rats. James, an expert bagpiper, wishes desperately to enter a contest by playing with a prestigious Scottish group and he practices daily. But James is not alone; the River Rats are watching. Pi Investigative Services has other cases along the way--a drug-addicted prostitute whose mother is raising her children, a Little Person that sees space aliens in his yard, the mysterious murder of feral cats, and a kidnapped child are all a part of the fabric of the latest in the series.

N65 was designed to give the US and its allies the upper hand by decimating its enemies young, intelligent citizens, leaving only those with fewer neurons--the elderly, the limited, the psychotic--behind. They didn't count on the gas affecting the entire planet. Or that the earth itself, would revolt. Will those that remain be able to survive the New World? Or will civilization come to an end?
