DUEL FOR CANNONS (1981) by Dane Hartman, WARNER BOOKS
It seems only fitting that this first in a series of "Dirty Harry" Callahan paperback books should involve the Alamo. Led from the streets of San Francisco to the byways of Bejar, Harry finds himself in pursuit of a villian with a vendetta--- against Harry himself. Following clues left on the scene of each gruesome crime, Harry arrives at the Alamo with his Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum for a showdown in the dark!
What can I say that hasn't already been said in the book's synopsis? Dane Hartman has written a 'fast-paced tale with hair-raising action and violence, unbearable suspense and hairy chase sequences'. Hartman has also captured Harry Callahan to a T and it is not hard to imagine the Clint Eastwood character in action when poring through the pages of this 172 page book. It was with regret that I came to the final page, all too soon.
While a hard to find book, this Dirty Harry tale is not impossible to locate, as the series became very popular with fans of the Clint Eastwood movies.
the ISBN # is ISBN 0-446-90793-6
Go ahead, make your day.
