"The Black Bag" is about a man and his eventful, colorful, and amazing life. Although growing up in foster homes does not deter Percy, better known as P, from making the most of his life, he ends up as a self-made pimp instead ora productive member of society. He revels in a life that revolves around "ballin" and "pimpin" in Memphis, Tennessee with Fran, better known as Snowflake, his stressed-out girlfriend, prostitute, business partner, and family. Considering the last designation, it does not surprise that P is left distraught after her momentous trick. After developing a strong liking to her "services," a high-rolling client whom P has nicknamed Mr. Three Stacks requests for Snowflake to meet him in Las Vegas, Nevada. The trick causes P and Snowflake to believe that they are finally on their way to making it big in Sin City. Alas, Snowflake's rendezvous with Three Stacks ends in nothing but her death, and P getting stranded in Las Vegas with only a black bag full of cash from the client. Despite the tragedy, it is fortunate that P meets a truck driver named Ann who befriends and then takes him in. Before long, seemingly improbable events take place through which P enlists in the CIA and then discovers the truth behind Snowflakes' supposed death: she is still alive, but in the clutches of the Italian mob which is led by her father. The Don, Snowflake's father, has sent P the black bag full of money in exchange for her daughter, so P would not end up marrying Snowflake and become the next "don." There is no way that P will just sit idly by now that he knows the love of his life is still alive, so he proceeds to rescue her. Thus begins the quest that ultimately changes P forever. "The Black Bag" may appeal to a reader seeking stories that touch on a variety of subjects, which include mystery, high crime, romance, and redemption.
