Jitterbug — Mike McQuay

The story takes place in the United States where Olson, a drifter, meets Gret, a callgirl of sorts. They go to Orleans and become involved in a plot to overthrow the Arab masters who rule with a combination of electric mind control and special implants. Through scheming with other Arabs who want to change the status quo, they manage to defeat the prince of the city and escape to start over again.
