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