Modeling himself after Lexington Cole, a schlocky series of detective novels, Dalton handles armies of [[JerkJock Jerk Jocks]], psychopathic punk rockers, textbook-racketeering nerds, and a faculty that operates on bribes to get to the bottom of an energy drink-fueled conspiracy. The novel features rather cartoonish imagery and outlandish characters. Its like detective noir [[UnusualEuphemism sliding]] with ScottPilgrim.
