Burned-out private detective Michael McGill is hired to locate an alternative version of the Constitution, an assignment that is complicated by a polyamorous sidekick and an introduction to an unorthodox use of warm saltwater.
The creator of DC Comics's "Transmetropolitan" and "The Authority" series presents the story of burned-out private detective Michael McGill, who is covertly hired to locate an alternative fallback version of the Constitution, an assignment that is complicated by a polyamorous sidekick and a haphazard introduction to an unorthodox use of warm saltwater. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.
Burned-out private dick Michael McGill needs to jump-start his career. What he gets instead is a cattle prod to the crotch. The president's heroin-addicted chief of staff wants McGill to find the Constitution—the real one the Founding Fathers secretly devised for the time of gravest crisis. And with God, civility, and Mom's homemade apple pie already dead or dying, that time is now. But McGill has a talent for stumbling into every imaginable depravity—and this case is driving him even deeper into America's darkest, dankest underbelly, toward obscenities that boggle even his mind.
