. . . and a cheer went up throughout the movie theater as this climactic scene unfolded.

Lisp? Effeminate? Limp-wristed freak? Is this some sort of stereotyping?

Read James Cavell's Nobel House, one of the most dangerous things going is a limp-wristed freak - everybody underestimates them.

And so it concludes. I had to rewind back to Chapter 3 to reacquaint myself with the folks who reappeared in this last chapter, six weeks later, although from the context I at least had a clue or two. That's the one downside of reading these stories over such an extended length of time.

I wonder if there's any chance resourceful Colt might end up as a successor to the narrator of the story someday, kind of like Will Smith coming in to relieve Tommy Lee Jones in "Men in Black."

Thanks for sharing this.

That sheriff idea has a lot of merit.

Thanks guys!

So far I don't think I have found one of Cole's stories that I have not enjoyed but this one really captured the imagination. Congratulations Cole on a good story really well told.

[Cole Parker]

Thanks Nigel. Somehow, I've written enough stories now to be able to tell when I've got an good one going, and this one felt that way all the way through.

Now that you've exorcised your inner Jack Reacher, Cole, maybe it is time to give Sheriff Jesse Stone a try.

[Cole Parker]

Spenser, yes. Stone, no. He was a drunk. I don't do drunks.

Well, that was a wonderful ride!

Another excellent story by Cole. Colourful characters, lots of action, and some great twists and surprises.

Well done Cole!

[Cole Parker]

Thanks, Gee. A fun ride for the author, too!

How nice that Colin is reposting this story over at Codey's World. A whole new audience will be able to enjoy it.

I plead innocence. I think Colin brought this back from the past. But it was nice of him to do so, and cause me to revisit it.
