Main character, Alex Barnaby is a girl mechanic and spotter for race car driver Sam Hooker. Alex's nickname is just "Barney" and trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. As the tale opens, a voo doo doll is found and Felicia is attempting to convince Alex that waving a chicken over it will keep her out of harms way. Unfortunately, Alex is fresh out of chickens, but Felicia's lunch is chicken salad. Yes, you can "picture" the next scene (hilarious and well worth the perusal!)
Artwork, by Jones exemplifies the misfortunes the characters encounter. Hooker, the good-looking pain-in-the-neck boss has a witty banter with Alex that will keep you laughing especially when Alex's meatloaf baking mom by day, but cougar by night surfaces in the nightclub where they are trying to solve their friend's disappearance. Entering the Everglades the duo encounter creepy rituals, are involved in a boat and a car high speed chase, find a "hand" in the mail and even dig through garbage to solve the mystery ... can Alex & Sam succeed in time?
