Working in an Austin, Texas, beauty parlour in 1954, Nadine Hightower endeavours to retrieve some 'art studies' she injudiciously had taken.

With both the police and the murderous villains after her, she enlists the help of her (almost) ex-husband Vernon, the none too successful owner of the Bluebonnet Bar.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
