Publisher Description
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.
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.
Customer Reviews
Not My Genre But…
This was my first foray into reading westerns, a genre I have had virtually no interest in reading or watching. I think that’s why this book stands out because I enjoyed almost every story and wished there were more than 7 across less than 200 pages. Leonard doesn’t waste a single word, and all 7 were excellent. I know 3:10 to Yuma is the headliner for this set, but it wasn’t my favorite in the anthology. I’ll be looking for more of the author’s work for sure.
