Sinister plots and murderous intentions fill the pages of this sixth book of the mystery series, The Picaresque of Imagine Purple. After attending two nonweddings in Atlanta, Imagine travels with her actor-father Lionel to visit her in-laws near Detroit. New Atlanta friends follow soon after. All take jobs at the theme park Greenfield Village but also continue to pursue separate dreams. Performing as Abraham Lincoln, PapaLi daily reads the Gettysburg Address. Rich further develops his idea of using horses to heal head injury victims. Brady wants a singing career. Ima arranges auditions with Motown and a Hollywood agent. Although these characters enjoy the second chances afforded by the Detroit area, this new location also offers a second chance for ruthless criminals to harm those closest to Ima. While her teenage sister-in-law Molly attends the first Woodstock Music Festival and returns spouting "peace and love" as the solutions to world problems, Ima tangles with gangsters who use strong-arm tactics and guns to solve their conflicts. The conniving Pollibo brothers from the Manhattan Imasode resurface and engage their Detroit relatives to settle an old family score. Corruption, killing, and kidnapping form their repertoire.
