With incriminating twists and extenuating turns, Hypnotism for Hummingbirds is a diabolically twisted mystery with extraterrestrial ramifications. The focus of interest is a small, metallic pyramid called a Py. No one seems to know where it came from. No one knows how it does what it is purported to do. This state of general ignorance only fuels the government's determination to take possession. Enter private detective Koji Remote: His task is to find the woman who has the Py before the Feds get to her. At any rate, that's what he thinks he is being paid to do. Not surprisingly, things are a little more complicated.
