One super read.This one starts with Daniel Briggs.Briggs is the best friend and body guard for Cal Stokes, owner of SSI.Before Briggs attained that position he was a wanderer. A guy who woke up in a barn in Defuniak Springs, Fl. How he got there he has no idea. In fact he didn't even know the name of the Town he was in.Briggs quickly finds out when three men head into the barn. The men are intent on beating Briggs to a pulp. Seems Briggs beat the crap out of all of them at Pappy's, a local bar. They were hassling a young waitress and Briggs interfered. Now they want him beaten or dead.Briggs has just left the marine corp and has loads of baggage. He also has loads of training and ability. Training and ability that will serve him well.The owner of the barn is a Hollis Hernden. Hernden with his shotgun puts the run on Johnny Laney and his two cousins. He also advises Briggs that Max Laney, grandfather to Johnny Laney, owns almost all of the Town hence Johnny Laney belief that he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Almost everyone in Town is beholden to Max Laney in one way or another.Herndon also  decides Daniel Briggs needs a friend and he, Hollis, will be that friend.So begins one great read.This one has murder, attempted murder, people on the take,  an attempt to blame a murder on Briggs, a band of ex vets who stand with Briggs and a Briggs who's more than capable of defending himself and taking it to those who are chasing him.Five Stars all the way.
