Written by Louis L'Amour

Narrated by Stephen Mendel

Traversing a vivid landscape, from sunblasted hills and canyons to the nighttime streets of America’s greatest cities, some of Louis L’Amour’s most compelling fiction was set in his own time.  Here are tales of innocents caught in the schemes of criminals, detectives hunting down truths that hide more lies, gangsters and beauties, private investigators and cops. Here is a world populated by the kinds of people who risk their lives to right a wrong, make a buck, or save a friend. Included here is this collection are Police Band, Dead Man’s Trail, The Hills of Homicide, and The Sucker Switch.

Written and performed in the crackling pulp fiction style of the 1940’s and 50s these thrilling, atmospheric stories course with authenticity and bear the mark of a timeless master.

Reviews for The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour

[bookwyrmm_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The title of this collection is slightly misleading. While many of the stories do deal with crime, quite a few would fall under the category of sports better (especially boxing, which is the what the cover picture portrays). Actually, my favorite story in the whole collection, "Dream Fighter", was one of the boxing stories. I also really enjoyed the noir stories featuring Kip Morgan, the title character from "Dream Fighter". Some of the other stories, though, just were not up my alley, but all were very well-written, as one would expect from an author like L'Amour.
