Lorne Lorch is an ice cleaner: each night he snakes through the ducts of an office tower peeling "ice rats"--bioluminescent blooms that cause their surroundings to freeze--one of the dirtiest, most unpleasant jobs imaginable.

Lorne Lorch is an ice cleaner: each night he snakes through the ducts of an office tower peeling "ice rats"--bioluminescent blooms that cause their surroundings to freeze--one of the dirtiest, most unpleasant jobs imaginable. And thanks to a bet between influencers, a sociology student's essay going viral, and an ice-cleaning-focused comic book becoming an underground hit, Lorne finds himself something of a celebrity, and before long newspapers are printing daily statistics of his rat takes. Fans tailgate behind his building. He faces daily media scrums. A young upstart nips at his heels. And as the pressure mounts on Lorne to maintain his supremacy in the field, living under the spotlight becomes increasingly oppressive. At the Regatta, a Super Bowl-like cleaning championship event, Lorne makes a final dash for immortality--and ends up destroying the city's greatest structure and causing a riot in the streets in the process. Hilarious and heartfelt, The Man Who Hunted Ice tells the story of a man destined for greatness in the dreariest of places.
