Bannerman the Enforcer 40: Brace Yargo

The girl wanted Brace Yargo dead, and Yancey Bannerman couldn't blame her. Yargo had raped the girl and stabbed her father to death. But Bannerman worked as an Enforcer for the Governor of Texas, and Enforcers only ever got involved when it concerned the most sensitive matters of state. That being the case, his hands were tied.So it fell to the Texas Rangers and various other law enforcement agencies to hunt the man down.When they failed, and Bannerman found himself stuck with three weeks' vacation that looked like boring him to death, he took the case on. He didn't figure he would be saddled with the girl herself every mile of the way, but that's how it worked out. Slowly, however, he began to close in on his prey, and though Yargo threw everything at him, he still kept coming.Before the final showdown, the girl learned something about Yancey's dark side that she'd sooner not have known, and learned something about herself, too – that she wasn't as tough as she liked to think she was.Still, she'd set her sights on revenge … and revenge meant putting a hot bullet through Brace Yargo's cold soul.
