Raymond Wirtz as something everyone wants. His Grace, the Bishop Of Chicago; Lola North - "a girl who could turn out to be as pure as an ester lily or steeped in sin and fail to surprise you either way"; Louis Antuni, Chicago Godfather; Constance Benbrook, who "wasn't the type to curl up with anything as inanimate as a novel" and mysterious super criminal Jafar Baijan - all want what Wirtz has... the ultimate religious artefact. Private Eye Paul Pine is right in the middle. In the middle of a deadly obstacle race strewn with copses, cops and beautiful women.
