Synopsis

BACK COUNTRY

Ex-G.I. Brad Dolan is traveling through central Florida, trying to forget his past, when his car breaks down. While waiting for a repair, he checks out the town and finds that everyone here in Carter County is afraid of a guy named Rand Ringo. Apparently Ringo owns the town. And after a bar fight that lands him in the local jail, Dolan soon finds himself introduced to Mr. Ringo, who offers him a job as his right-hand man.

Ringo owns the county alright, and now he wants to own Dolan. And Dolan wouldn’t have a problem with that except that Ringo’s wife, Billy, keeps throwing herself at him. And then there’s Ringo’s beautiful daughter, Gloria, a sweet temptation. Dolan has stepped into a powder keg of a situation, and will be lucky if he can get out with his life.

About the Author

William Fuller has born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1913, and after two years of college, worked a variety of jobs, including freighter deckhand, migratory farm worker, short order cook, Hollywood extra, newspaper reporter and publicity promoter. Fuller joined the army at the outset of World War II, and while stationed stateside, married Eunice Bourne Lee, heiress and stage actress, with whom he had three sons. After the war, the family moved to Winter Haven, Florida, where he began a career as a mainstream short story writer in 1946. Turning to crime novels in 1954, he wrote six Brad Dolan adventures in the 1950s, and one standalone novel, all for Dell Books. After retiring from his writing career, Fuller spent the rest of his life as the owner of a charter fishing boat. He died in Winter Haven in 1982.
