Prostitution has been legal in Rhode Island for more than a decade Liam Mulligan, an old-school investigative reporter at dying Providence newspaper, suspects the governor has been taking payoffs to keep it that way. But this isnt the only story making headlinesa childs severed arm is discovered in a pile of garbage at a pig farm. Then the body of an internet pornographer is found sprawled on the rocks at the base of Newports famous Cliff Walk. At first, the killings seem random, but as Mulligan keeps digging into the states thriving sex business, strange connections emerge. Promised free sex with hookers if he minds his own business—and a beating if he doesnt—Mulligan enlists Thanks-Dad, the newspaper publishers son, and Attila the Nun, the states colorful Attorney General, in his quest for the truth.
