Also caught in Mr. Canada's web is the exquisite Tag Parker, who might be the girl of O'Keefe's dreams-or his nightmares. Noir meets Arthurian romance as a modern knight errant (both on an errand and "in err") rides forth to rescue a beautiful queen beset by dragons-and to save himself in the quest.
