Westerns

Classic tales that capture the heroic and indomitable spirit of our great land

The twelve stories in this collection run the spectrum of human emotions as

they transport us from the fading majesty of the Old West to a small-town football

field to the lonely canyons of one man's mind. These classic tales of adventure,

mystery, mysticism, and suspense epitomize the uniquely American yearning for connection

and roots, justice and love, as only L'Amour can. Here is a diverse group of heroes

and traitors, outlaws and lawmen-the innocent, the guilty, and those who operate

in the shadowy territory outside the reach of justice.

The wastelands of Death

Valley form the backdrop for the tale of a desperate man who leads his pursuers into

a desert trap-where heat and thirst are his only weapons. A rodeo rider framed for

a crime he didn't commit takes a wild ride on a legendary bronco that may help him

catch the real killers. An American pilot flies Russian and British agents into the

labyrinthine forests of Asiatic Russia-only to discover that one of them is a traitor.

A hit man discovers the fatal limits of friendship; and a quest for revenge becomes

a frantic race to find a cache of gold hidden in the drifting sands of the Southwest.

And in a powerful and moving parable, an Indian boy must lead his family across a

drought-ravaged land with nothing to guide him but his faith.

The gripping title

story counts down the final hours of a wounded man struggling to fend off his enemies

and certain death. Before time runs out, he must finish the most important task of

his life- a letter to his unborn son that will vindicate the family name. Filled with

a special brand of passion and drama, From the Listening Hills is an exemplary collection

that showcases the enduring talents of one of America's most beloved authors.
