The downed cop was a rookie. The shooter was scum, part of a gang planning the biggest bank heist in Gusher City, Texas. The only witness was a fat man too scared to talk. Now, working under legendary sheriff Jack Tragg, Deputy Brad Counter—great-grandson of Mark Counter from Ole Devil Hardin's floating outfit—was as fast with a gun as his ancestor. His partner was Alice Fayde. Her weapons of choice were her looks and her brains. They had a plan for catching these lowlifes ... it involved two pretty call girls, an unwilling civilian, a slimy informant, and a trap that would catch a rat—or cost Alice and Counter their lives.
