en Limba Engleză Paperback
Hattie Bleu Holliday, a Louisiana bayou girl, was born into poverty. At eleven years old her wayward mother and drunkard father moved to Detroit. The child is brought along, almost as an afterthought. Hattie is deserted, abandoned, left alone to freeze in the brutal northern winter. She is taken in and raised by the madam of a whorehouse and her brother an ex pro boxer. She is survival's child. Hidden from the authorities she becomes two children. Hattie going to school from the house she now lives in with non-existing parents and a girl named Bleu who lives in a small room next to the kitchen in the whorehouse across the street. At 17, she is the hall monitor, checking the rooms, keeping the times and moving the customers out when their time is up. Her face is always covered and a blackjack is always in her back pocket. At 22, with the help of the huge black bouncer, she runs the top two floors and no one gets any extra time with the girls. Eventually, fighting to save one of the girls, she put a knife into a mobster's chest and makes herself and the whorehouse number ONE on the mobs hit list. Now a brutal killer has all the girls and the whorehouse in his site but his main target is a girl with yellow hair. The Chief of police can't control the situation within the legal means the law allows but he has another weapon, one he only uses in extreme cases. Once again the Chief asks the "The man that no one can see," for a favor. And now when Bleu, "The Girl with the Yellow Hair" walks the street the "Ghost" is not far behind.
