Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crooked Little Vein is the first novel by Warren Ellis, published in 2007.Michael McGill, a burned-out Private Detective is hired by a corrupt and heroin-addicted White House Chief of Staff to find a second "secret" United States Constitution, which had been lost in a brothel by Richard Nixon. What follows is a scavenger hunt across America, exposing its weirder side along the way. McGill is joined by surreal college student side-kick and eventual lover, Trix, who is writing a thesis on sexual fetishes although the true reason why she followed him is that she desired McGill. | |

| Crooked Little Vein / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: Ellis has a tendency to let his characters be mouthpieces for his views, especially regarding the Internet. This doesn't lower the entertainment value, and it is lampshaded when characters are unexpectedly monologuing about certain topics: | |

| Crooked Little Vein / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: The novel is a satire on all aspects of American culture. As Warren Ellis is British, he has a natural outsider perspective. | |

First-Person Smartass | |
| Crooked Little Vein / int_af157b58 | comment |
First-Person Smartass: The novel features a main character who tells the story from the first person and is most definitely a smartass, but subverts the rest of the trope by... well, being a typical Ellis protagonist, really. | |

Alien Autopsy | |
| Crooked Little Vein / int_bf298865 | comment |
Alien Autopsy: The secret constitution is written on alien skin harvested from a crashed visitor. It's implied that this is what gives it its more powerful properties. | |
