Big Jim 8

Like a black cloud, the threat of sudden death hung over Ortega, implacable; malevolent; ominous. The distraught mother of an executed killer had put a curse on the jury that convicted him. All twelve would die, she vowed. Three had already died, when Big Jim Rand and the itchy-fingered Benito Espina arrived. Was the curse working? The tough ex-sergeant of the 11th Cavalry refused to believe in witchcraft. With no regard for the danger that threatened him, he stayed to challenge a cunning conspiracy to fight and win in a conflict of hard fists and blazing .45s.
