Bradford Counter stood six feet three and weighed two hundred and twenty pounds. He was a graduate of the University of Southern Texas’s Police Science and Administration Class and had passed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s training course for police officers with honors. His black belts in judo and karate were backed by a thorough knowledge of roughhouse brawling and dirty fighting. By virtue of his expertise with firearms, he was a member of the F.B.I.’s exclusive ‘Possible Club’ and his scores on the Police Combat Shooting Course of the Rockabye County Sheriff’s Office earned him an extra sixteen dollars a week.
With such qualifications Brad knew plenty about the theory of modern law enforcement. But before he had held his badge for thirty-six hours, he found himself up against a pair of professional killers who never hesitated to use their guns. Under those conditions experience counted, and theory was of little use. Because in a real gunfight, there was only one second prize awarded … death!
