In "Law of the Desert", Shad Marone is on the run. He shot a man in a fair fight, but the sheriff is his bitter enemy, and Shad knows he'll never get a fair trial.

In "Desert Death Song", Nat Bodine is given a choice: to die by hanging or take his chances in the desert. But when a good woman believes in a man, he finds the will to survive.

Critic reviews

"L'Amour never writes with less than a saddle creak in his sentences and more often with a desert heat wave boiling up from a sun-baked paragraph. A master storyteller." ( Kirkus Reviews)

I love his writing style. He paints great mental images. The discription of the land is amazing.
I want to live in these romantic views of the old west. I'm very glad I found his writing and I plan on listening to many more of his stores.

I want a time machine.

I am loving this author's western stories. They remind me of the western tv shows that I used to watch when I was a kid, 60 years ago.

Death Song
But for the red-spotted toad!
Matt Bodine was being hunted for a stagecoach robbery. Pete Daily was the only witness and swore it was Bodine. Daily never did like Bodine since he won the hand of Mary Callahan whom Daily liked. The posse came to arrest Bodine but he shot the sheriff and now hid out in Desert the rough Powder Basin country. The desert to the west was the only path for escape. Would he make it across?
Law of the Desert
They had it coming!
Chad Marone was on the losing side of a cattle war in the Black River country. They hunted him relentlessly, and Lopez the tracker, was a ferocious killer. Marone slipped on his moccasins and went to the desert to lose them. Marone remembered what the Navaho had told him. Lopez knew the same from his Apache mother.

Two short, and I mean short, stories about men wrongfully pursued across the unforgiving desert. Nothing too special, but worth a listen if you’re a western fan.
