Like all of this great writer's books, this is a very fast read. Short Stories
Short stories by L'Amour - good showcase of his inimitable style.
A collection of short adventure stories. My favorite is Under the Hanging Wall; a murder mystery that takes place in a mine. I'm not a big fan of short stories but these were better than most. My first time reading Louis L'Amour.
L.L.'s Books always great
Good non Western short stories. I have read it many times and enjoyed it.
From the American West to the Siberian coast, from Hollywood to the boxing ring, here are timeless tales of war, mystery, romance, crime, and punishment as only Louis LAmour can tell them.
These stories are vintage LAmour: A hardbitten cattle driver is pitted against a man trying to steal his woman, the disappearance of a thousand head of cattle, and a plot to frame him for murder. A private eye visits a remote mining town on a case involving a sexy widow, an uneasy lawman, and a fortune in gold buried in an abandoned mine shaft. A country boy with a good right hand must fight not only his vicious opponent in the ring but the ruthless gangsters wholl do anything for profiteven commit coldblooded murder. A young woman stranded in an isolated harbor must survive the wilderness and a brutal battle of wits with a sadistic fortune hunter.
Here is the trademark blend of action, suspense, historical detail, and unforgettable characters that have made Louis LAmour one of the worlds most extraordinary writers.
