For the first time in book form, here is a collection
of Louis L'Amour detective stories--vivid tales as memorable
and exciting as his beloved frontier fiction. Each story
is personally selected, with an introduction, by the Louis.
In the dark alleys of the pulsing cities and the savage
criminal wilderness, Louis L'Amour introduces a new brand
of characters: men like Kip Morgan, the ex-fighter turned
detective who is tough enough to bounce a bouncer, yet
has more up his sleeve than sheer muscle; Joe Ragan, dedicated
career cop who fears nothing in the pursuit of justice;
and women whose soft laughter covers their underlying
cruelty.
These are fast-moving stories of brawls where once a
man goes down and doesn't get up fast enough he's through,
of flashing knives that whisper death, of guns that blaze
their fatal file through the blackest nights.
