The Dead One Stinks

The richest man in Chicago is found dead from a drug overdose in the men's room of his law firm, the prestigious Fenton, Pettigrew & Cohenstein. Find out what is funny about murder after attending the wake and funeral presided over by The Prophet Andy, head of The Evangelical Congregation of the Angel Gabriel. The dead guy is 82, uses a wheel chair, speaks through an electro larynx and is completely covered up with clothing, scarves, dark glasses and gloves. To the nuthouse full of lawyers we add his 22 year old girl friend and his three ex-wives and their children who all work in his businesses. It looks like someone else had a hand in the overdose. The last ones to have been around him in the men's room are two young lawyers, the gay Sean Featherbottom and the fag hag Tambola Cook who stalks him. What was she doing in the men's room? Don't ask. Our hero, Bumper Lohman, the big nobody Managing Partner, must figure out who done it quick when the cops bust up a big family gathering to arrest the guilty parties. Along the way we review the pathetic state of Chicago, the law, lawyers, their clients, the rich, the snobs, the gay, the straight, the young, the old, finance, politics and technology. Oh woe to us to have been thrust into such deviant turmoil!
