As part of the Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures series, this edition
contains exclusive bonus materials!
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 and introduced by the author.
In the dark alleys of the pulsing cities and the savage criminal
wildernesses, 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, the 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 if 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 fire through the blackest nights.
Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of
the author's more unconventional manuscripts from the family
archives.
In Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 1 and Louis
L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 2, Beau L'Amour takes the
reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished
short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to
publish during his lifetime. L'Amour's never-before-seen first novel,
No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program, is a
voyage into danger and violence on the high seas.
Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an
exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished
material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These
postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers
have come to know and cherish.
