The future isn't what it used to be. Two hundred years from now, the government has been taken over by the Order of Divine Ephemera, a religious cult that sees veneration of art as a path to divinity. The police have been replaced by the Inquisition. The rich have gotten richer, and are hoarding art. Nathan Donne, a morbidly obese private detective with a penchant for cracking wise, is hired by a well-connected member of the Order to retrieve some stolen relics- in the form of plasticized eyeballs that have looked upon divine art and are used to commune with it.

Almost immediately the case goes south and people start to die. It's up to Nathan to use his limited wits and big mouth to find the relics, solve the murders, and feed his cat. In his own haphazard but somehow effective fashion, Donne follows a labyrinthine set of clues to retrieve the relics and uncover a murderer while exploring the nature of art, capitalism, theology, and conspiracy.

For The Sake Of Art is a mystery told in first person by a classically voiced gumshoe. Set in a dystopian future Chicago, it weaves the history of that city with elements of science fiction and hardboiled detective narrative.
