Our introduction to Slippery Jim diGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat. Society had more rats when the rules were looser, just as old wooden buildings had more rats than the concrete buildings that came later. Now that society is all ferroconcrete and stainless steel, there are fewer gaps between the joints, and it takes a smart rat to find them - a Stainless Steel Rat. Jim is a criminal so slippery that when the cops of the legendary Special Corps finally caught up with him, there was only one thing they could do - they made him a cop.
