Set against the backdrop of a mythic âNew West,â a satire that follows grammatically-challenged, âuser-friendlyâ candidate Dicky Pilager, scapegrace scion of Coloradoâs venerable Senator Jud Pilager, during his gubernatorial campaign. When Pilager finds that heâs reeled in a corpse during the taping of an environmental political ad, his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven, hires former idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny OâBrien to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager familyâs enemies. Dannyâs investigation pulls him deeper and deeper into a complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers.
