Book excerpt: "Richard Abraham Spade was finished with pro football, but the action in his life was just beginning. Spade took on a job with a small college as a lecturer and part-time coach, in search of the quiet life. But no such luck. His best friend, a dedicated politician, was assassinated and Spade was in the middle of a deadly blitz of bullets, broads and burning revolution, scrambling to save his beautiful black skin from being sliced up and served cold!"--Page 4 of cover.
