From the cover: John Ray Horn used to be a big star, a Hollywood hero in B westerns. Now, after two years in prison, he's just down-and-out. His wife left him. The studios have blacklisted him. The only way he can make ends meet is by collecting debts for a gambler, who just happens to be his old Indian sidekick from the big screen. But then, Horn is told of a collection of photos - obscene shots of underage girls, one of whom might be Clea, his stepdaughter before the divorce. Someone has killed to keep the photos in the dark - and now the sun is about to set on the runaway Clea. HOrn searches for her among neon-lit oceanfront peirs and wooded canyons, estates in the HOllywood Hills and jazz clubs on Central Avenue - all the while trying to pull himself together in time to save her.
