Look, we're going to be upfront with you here: 45 pages into this book there will be a werewolf with a gatling gun. We hope you're ready for that because it just gets weirder from there.Across the country, someone is murdering journalists--or whatever you call the agent provocateurs who write clickbait listicles for BuzzWorthy News. The killer leaves no witnesses, no evidence, no sign he ever existed at all. The police say the deaths were accidental. There is no other possible explanation, but one Chicago writer has a suspect in mind: the notorious Kill Team One of modern folklore.Upon hearing this appalling accusation, Sid Hansen flies into action to clear his name and bring the real killer to justice. No, not really. He actually just wants to keep nailing prostitutes, because that's the special kind of asshole he is, but his friends coerce him into helping.So Sid takes a trip to the Windy City, where he'll have to contend with deadly mercenaries, transgender activism, snooty apparel shops, public transit, the alt-right, and what renowned French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard defined as an incredulity toward metanarratives. Sid only knows how to deal with one of the things on that list, and the last thing sounds like a lot of horseshit to him, but he has to do something or more innocent people are going to die--maybe a lot more. . .
