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 Joes, he may have met his match on the reprehensibility scale. If hes 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.Upholding crime and corruption, one fast food joint at a time. 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. Ryan brings his mixture of scatology, sex,and billingsgate to an acme of noxioushilarity. Ryans work is smart, crammed withideas, and so funny it will melt yourretinas.
