Description:
Quote:The New York Times-bestselling Grand Master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with seven classic western tales of destiny and fatal decision . . . and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.Category:Fiction, Short Stories, Westerns, Short Story Collections, Western Short Stories
Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America's frontier-with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunmen working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man's life with a well-placed bullet. In these classic tales that span more than five decades-including the first story he ever published, "The Trail of the Apache"-Elmore Leonard once again demonstrates the superb talent for language and gripping narrative that have made him one of the most acclaimed and influential writers of our time.
