"May be destined to become one of the great underground classics of the twenty-first century." Lansing State Journal

Burned-out private dick Michael McGill needs to jump-start his career. What he gets instead is a cattle prod to the crotch.

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 depravityand this case is driving him even deeper into America's darkest, dankest underbelly, toward obscenities that boggle even his mind.
