It’s Christmas in San Francisco, 1949. But private detective Alexander Blade is in no mood to celebrate. He’s on a skip trace job in the Tenderloin to help make ends meet. Fate steps in when his assistant, part time fan dancer Paloma Liu Tsong, accepts a new client while he’s away.
The client’s retainer seems too good to be true, until Paloma hears the terms. She must use an Ouija board to communicate with the client’s deceased boss, noted Berkeley sociologist Dr. Roswell Dvorak, PhD. to find his killer. The board sessions are off to a rocky start, downright dangerous, until Blade seeks help from a native shaman known as “the Chief,” to straighten things out.
Blade learns that Professor Dvorak was a member of a Marin County cult called Omenon, run by a former pulp fiction writer named Ananda Vedanta. Blade suspects the cult may have had something to do with Dvorak’s death.
Ananda Vedanta claims to get his information from a supernatural source and says he’s smarter than Einstein. He’s woven his cosmic revelations into a series of science fiction stories that eventually become the teachings of his cult.
But there’s more to Omenon than meets the eye. Within the cult’s inner circle, Nazi scientists are working on Project Mind Fuhrer, one of Hitler’s top secret weapons programs.
What began as a dalliance over an Ouija board turns into a plot to take over the entire planet. Blade gets hemmed in by the Professor’s oversexed daughter, an eccentric native shaman, and a long-haired guru determined to rule the world.
This is the second installment in the Frisco Detective series featuring Alexander “Buster” Blade, former silent film child star turned private investigator. The first in the series is Cold War Hot Lead.
