With the world on the verge of total economic collapse, a President initiates a radical solution: anyone working full-time gets an EWW card-Everything We Want. With it they can buy anything, as much as they want, as often as they want. The economy booms. But not everyone is thrilled with this utopia; the ARTS-poets, painters, musicians-can't prove their work hours, and the GUTS-wandering ascetics-reject all materialism. Plus, mysterious serial killers are culling the ranks of the EWWS. It's Detective Third Class Norah Glantz's first big case, and she finds herself working with ART Bezazle (an attractive, eccentric artist) and his companion meme (an empath who mimes your innermost feelings). With them, Norah will face the murderous Wolfpack as well as questions of her own core identity.
