β¦ Synopsis
akaDeliver Me from Dallas
Although an earlier version was first published as Whip Hand by W.
Franklin Sanders in 1961, the publisher declares this to be the original
Deliver Me from Dallas!, for which the late Charles Willeford
(Shark-Infested Custard, the Hoke Moseley series, etc.) deserves full
credit. (Confused? All is explained in Jesse Sublett's introduction.)
Ex-cop Bill Brown flees L.A. for Dallas, where he runs into all manner
of trouble, including some murderous hillbilly kidnappers and a woman
who wields a mean bullwhip. This hardboiled yarn is remarkably well
constructed and should find an enthusiastic audience among aficionados
of Jim Thompson and the like.
