From Wikipedia:

Michael McGill, a burned-out private eye is hired by a corrupt politician to find a second "backup" US Constitution, which had been lost in a whorehouse by Richard Nixon. What follows is a scavenger hunt across America, exposing its seedier side along the way. McGill is joined by surreal college student side-kick, Trix, who is writing a thesis on sexual fetishes .

McGill also has to deal with random insanity sometimes unrelated to his adventures, he is a self-confessed 'shit-magnet', weirdness follows him wherever he goes.

This book is over the top. Weird, grotesque, and hilarious.

Ellis, like Ennis, is one of those writers whose work is so twisted I will check it out even if dubious about plot, characters, or anything. So crazy it's funny.
