The Chiang Kai-shek Gold Bond Scam: Get McClafferty

Low-life "Bones-the-Dog" McClafferty, whacked- out on dope and booze hits rock-bottom. Rehab is called in to get him back on track. No easy task as he moves from one venture to another. He re-invents himself in various roles: Owner of Sunny Dogs Shampoo Parlours, Private Eye on the Blue Diamond ponzi scheme, racecourse bookie when Stewball hits a winning streak, runs for mayor of Sunny Groodge, becomes the force driving the Chiang Kai-shek Gold Bond Scam, and ends as a TV guru when a sunburst blows out the grid in Sunny Groodge and the system goes pear-shaped. McClafferty meanwhile has purchased insurance for the after-life. Told in a series of 20 stories, linked by McClafferty's shape-shifting as Rehab and then Probation pursue him.
