  Margie Rose Walker's "Curtains" introduces Maxine, a successful Houston banker who intends to make this her last trip to Liberty. Then someone takes a shot at her, and she meets Sgt. Lucious Kimble. He's a man whose energy screams "cop", and whose good looks scream things Maxine hasn't thought about in way too long.
