Fatcop

Upholding crime and corruption, one fast food joint at a time.

Publisher Marketing: "FATCOP never passes up a possible grift, a chance to use excessive force, or a pit stop at any chain restaurant he passes. He chafes when forced to take a new partner, Pete Rick, to keep him on the up and up. Even when he lucks into a heroic deed, he manages to do so repulsively. But when FATCOP uncovers a child slave ring operating out of the local Trader Joe's, he may have met his match on the reprehensibility scale. If he's not careful, it might be a transformative experience that causes him to reconsider his role as a loving partner and father. Well, up to a point, anyway -- sometimes a fat cop is just a FATCOP." -- Amazon. Review Quotes : A psychotic and brilliant book. Impossible to pigeonhole, always a step ahead of the reader, its intellectual reach goes well beyond outrageousness and toward the agony of modern America ... and its desire for self- destruction. Fatcop is a murder mystery story engined by pure id, crafted by a comics master.--Sammy Harkham (Blood of the Virgin) Review Quotes : Ryan brings his mixture of scatology, sex, and billingsgate to an acme of noxious hilarity.-- "Booklist" Review Quotes : Ryan's work is smart, crammed with ideas, and so funny it will melt your retinas.-- "Chicago Reader" Publisher Marketing : FATCOP never passes up a possible grift, a chance to use excessive force, or a pit stop at any chain restaurant he passes.
