Upon his father's death, however, Michael Rips returned to his Omaha family home to discover a hidden portfolio of paintings-all done by his father, all of a naked black woman. His solid Republican father, Michael would eventually discover, had an interesting past and another side to his personality. Raised in one of Omaha's most famous brothels, Nick had insisted on hiring a collection of social misfits to work in his eyeglass factory-and had once showed up in his son's high school principal's office in pajamas. As Michael searches for the woman in the paintings, he meets, among others, an African American detective who swears by the clairvoyant powers of a Mind Machine, a homeless man with five million dollars in the bank, an underwear auctioneer, and a flying trapeze artist on her last sublime ride. Ultimately, in his investigations through his Nebraska hometown, he will discover the mysterious woman-as well as a father he never knew, and a profound sense that all around us the miraculous permeates the everyday.
