The book begins in the office of Mike McGill, a failed private eye who seems to be one bad case away from suicide. McGill has absolutely nothing going for him, except for his uncanny ability to find the most vile, deviant, perverse clients and cases going. What other man could crack the case of the tantric sex ostrich farm? He's contracted by the heroin-addled and patently insane U.S. Secretary of State to find a lost national treasure—the "Real" Constitution. "This is how life in America is. Moment by moment, our country has grown sicker," explains the Secretary of State, who is revolted by the horrors of subculture and deviancy. He wants Mom's apple pie and piety back, and the "Real" Constitution is the only way for him to get it.
