A private detective story set in Tucson, gone horribly wrong. Hamish Howl can't quite remember how he became a gumshoe, nor how or when he hired his assistant, Friday. He's been hired to solve a murder in a world that's a mash-up of Studebakers and hovertanks. To top it all off, it seems that God wants him dead. But Friday is on the case. This is the first installment of the Tucson Chronicles, strange tales of a bizarre city.
