Ex–Dallas Cowboy Rick Bannion has been through the revolving prison door for drug trafficking and now hunts bail-jumpers. His old friend Jack Brendy has just been busted by the Feds for smuggling cocaine, and when Brendy's wife approaches him seeking a favor, Rick jumps at the chance to help. The favor?-keep the government's sleazy informer off the stand. Unfortunately, when things go wrong, Rick finds himself in the crosshairs of the Feds.
"Crooked lawyers, pasty FBI informants, egomaniacal ex-convicts, and denizens of the Dallas hinterlands populate this rough-riding story of a drug frame-up and its aftermath…The ensuing tough, action-packed trek through and around seedy bars, strip joints, and bad neighborhoods provides page-turning suspense and plenty of authentic local color. A good choice."

"This Dallas version of Boston's The Friends of Eddie Coyle has memorable characters and punchy, side-of-the-mouth dialogue-adding all the more muscle to Gray's hard-boiled rep."
