His brain scrambled, Jake tries to clear himself of a murder charge. Jake Pace comes to on the floor of a dungeon, where a robot jailer is killing rats. The last 24 hours are a blank; he doesn’t remember anything since he stepped into his skycar, chasing a tip on the Big Bang murders. For weeks the killings have stumped every officer in the government - costing six of them their lives - but a soprano named Palsy Hatchbacker told Jake she knew something that could break open the case. Before he met Miss Hatchbacker, a carnation-wearing goon spritzed Jake with a memory-wiping spray.

Scandal in the highest political circles? "Almost before Reporter Noah Kraft knows what he's after - if he ever really learns - he's captured by the ultra-conservative Robin Hood Foundation, meets its superpatriot leader, George Washington II, has a run-in with the Jersey Mafia (which claims it doesn't exist), and finds out what the mystery is behind the name "Hawkshaw".
