Whiteface McBlack used to be a private dick, but he gave it up in order to pursue his true murder, sabotage, theft and arson. So, when the Killer Dame asks him to find her rotten ex-husband, he's reluctant to take the case. Before long, McBlack finds himself tangling with cyborg biker hippies, Irish paramilitary cannibals, redneck triads, illegal arms dealers, crooked cops, and a former pro-wrestler turned monster truck dealer. But will all of that be enough to hold McBlack's attention, and if not... well, what happens then?
