Michael McGill is a private investigator whose career is circling the drain. When the president’s heroin-addicted chief of staff hands him an impossible assignment, McGill sees a last chance at redemption. The job? Recover the “secret” U.S. Constitution, a hidden document written for a time of ultimate crisis.
But chasing history’s strangest relic drags McGill through the foulest corners of America’s underbelly. Every stop brings new perversions, grotesque revelations, and bizarre encounters that blur the line between satire and nightmare. Each step deeper makes it clearer: this country is already on life support.
With the grit of Chandler, the grotesque wit of Palahniuk, and the bite of Burroughs, Warren Ellis delivers a filthy, hilarious noir that proves truth is far stranger than conspiracy.
