Publisher's Synopsis
When Andrew Carnegie's flying locomotive deposits Archimedes the duck (and his telekinetic fish, Finley) in the vast Ohio desert, it is only the beginning of a long and torturous journey involving cannibalism, decapitation and social faux-pas. While Finley tries to create the perfect artificial poker game, the horrors of the backwater city of Zuckerstown come to light... and they are horribly unpleasant horrors indeed! Now, as his companions are brutally murdered in their hotel rooms each night, Archimedes must uncover the dark secret of the Titan Inn... before the killer strikes him as well!
