Synopsis
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., Burned-out private detective and self-styled shit magnet Michael McGill needed a wake-up call to jump-start his dead career. What he got was a virtual cattle prod to the crotch, in the form of an impossible assingment delivered directly from the president's heroine-addict chief of staff: unearth the backup Constitution the Founding Fathers devised for a time of crisis. In the government's eyes, that time is now, and they want to use this "Secret Constitution" to drive the country back to a time when civility, God, and mom's apple pie were all that mattered. Like Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, and Aldous Huxley before him, Warren Ellis deflty exposes the hypocrisy of the "moral majority, "giving us a glimpse at the monstrous outcome that their overzealous policies would achieve., 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.
