BOOK DESCRIPTION
Tami, presumably the illegitimate daughter of the Sam Spade of Maltese Falcon fame, is sick of the ultra ghetto environment in which she lives. Having heard of someone or something known as the The Just and Pure Mirage, she and her best friend decide to run away from home and join him or it. But being the illegitimate daughter of the human emulsifying Sam Spade has its disadvantages. Three bumbling detectives get on her trail immediately, the two-gun slinger midget, Foxx Wise, Gravedigger and Lonesome Pyle.
Moreover, following a Wild West type shootout in Providence, RI with a group of Greyhound bus hijackers with a suitcase full of dope, the FBI*s illustrious agent, Hangman Jack Diamond and his partner, Sluefoot McCaneles gets on their trail, but for a different reason. The luggage of a Quaker salesman who befriends the girls has gotten switched on the bus. Rather than containing his flour samples, he is now unknowingly carrying a suitcase full of dope, which Hangman Jack and his crew of associates killed five men to recover. What they recovered, however, is a suitcase full of flour. Hangman Jack is furious.
The girls adventures take them through a clan of followers of a very strange ancient Egyptian cult; Under the illustrious stud, Handsome Floyd’s guise of making a movie, they are taken to a mansion of prostitution in Cleveland conducted by the raucous Soul Papa, a man so ugly he almost radiates it: A gold digging ignorant prairie cult heavily influenced by a country novel, Erskine Caldwell's God's Little Acre, and a Black Muslim mosque in Chicago. The ending is very surprising.
