Synopsis
In Jenevercity, Mayor Pearl-chain is in dire straits, accused of cronyism, abuse of power and creating a culture of fear. The democratically elected heavyweights of the city council fly in the integrity agency You Call and We Deliver to deal with her "independently and thoroughly". The heads of this bureau, Long Jake, Ant and Colt, will piggyback her. Ex-journalist Tick is working overtime in his anonymous and vicious internet forum, constantly spewing thousands of smears, slanders and Indian stories into the ether through his tightly managed whispering campaign. The vox populi is foaming at the mouth demanding redress and Sting, Pear-chain's vindictive employee, is scheming like mad. All the building blocks are in place for a crazy tragicomedy with plenty of intrigue, black humour and a surprising denouement. This little book is inspired by Dante's Inferno, the 5th gorge of the Maleboge.
