Dirty Harry #12: The Dealer of Death by
Dane Hartman (unknown). James William Gallant was arrested and sent to prison
by Inspector Callahan, where he spent six and a half years before escaping.
Now, his ambition is to cause Dirty Harry problems before killing him. Setting
up his own death to make everyone think his dead, he won’t be suspected in
crimes now. He steals Callahan’s famous gun and kills several people known to
hate Dirty Harry, which eventually leads to Callahan’s suspension from the
force. Gallant also ties up with an end-of-the-world survival group made up of
paramilitary men with a hideout in the woods. This was actually a pretty good
entry in the series, even though not by Ric Meyers. Well worth reading.
