    About this audiobook

    Ninety years ago the Toomey brothers, along with twenty-five other men and four thousand head of cattle, vanished en route to Arizona. When writer and historian Dan Sheridan is invited to the missing brothers' ranch by its current owner, he jumps at the chance. The visit fits right in with his plan to solve the century-old mystery-but it turns out that his host isn't a fan of books, writers, or people who don't mind their own business.

    Soon Dan is living the dangers of the Old West firsthand-tracked through the savage wilderness by vicious killers straight out of the most violent pages of his stories. However, his enemies have made one serious mistake: Sheridan is no pencil-pushing greenhorn, and killing him won't be as easy as they think.

    Our foremost storyteller of the authentic West, L'Amour has thrilled a nation by chronicling the adventures of the brave men and women who settled the American frontier. There are more than 300 million copies of his books in print around the world.

      A very different style normally read of Louis Lamours which brings him forwards into the era of Police cars , flashing lights, helicopters sky trails left by airliners!! But, in need of a little diversion and so persevered to its foregone conclusion. However, for true aficionados the yarn is improbable. Bob N . Kiwi Land 28/10 019.

      A mystery set in the American west, but in the mid twentieth century instead of the author's usual late 1800s period. Not L'Amour's best, but worth a read.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed Zane Grey so I wanted to read some Louis L'Amour.

      I was disappointed with the emotional dryness of the book and the though the writer's skill was obvious, the book felt mechanical.

      If you want good cowboy stuff I would recommend Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey. I should say that these great early writers of this genre were quite good and worthy of attention
