Strand's perpetually unlucky character Andrew Mayhem sets off on a
simple mission at the request of his wife: Get some spaghetti sauce. On
his way to the store he meets Konrath's obnoxious private eye Harry
McGlade, co-star of the Lt. Jack Daniels thrillers.
Horrific violence, bad jokes, and lots of name calling soon ensues. Some
sex, too, but not between the main characters.
