THE FUGITIVE KIND

“With a guitar and a snake skin jacket he drifted out of the rain...and into the lives of these two women...”

Val Xavier, a drifter of obscure origins, arrives at a small town and gets a job in a store run by Lady Torrence. Her husband, Jabe M. Torrance, is dying of cancer. Val is pursued by Carol Cutere, the enigmatic local tramp-of-good-family.
