''Crooked Little Vein'' is the first novel by established comic book writer Warren Ellis, published by William Morrow on July 24, 2007.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 The novel is written in the first-person, similar to much of the hardboiled detective genre. The book was based on research material posted on Ellis' websites, mostly odd news items and disturbing pictures from the web that the author had found or had been sent. The novel has been translated into Spanish, German, French, Czech, and Italian.〔 〕 ==Plot summary== Michael McGill, a burned-out private eye is hired by a corrupt White House Chief of Staff to find a second "secret" United States 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 has to deal with strange events sometimes unrelated to his adventures – he describes himself as a 'shit-magnet', with weird phenomena following him wherever he goes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crooked Little Vein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
