Elmore Leonard's western fiction burns with passion, treachery, and heroism. In these two stories taken from his hard-bitten collection, "The Tonto Woman and Other Western Stories," the American frontier comes vividly, magnificently to life.
In "The Colonel's Lady," a brutal ambush puts a woman into the hands of a vicious renegade while a tracker attempts a rescue that cannot come in time.
"No Man's Guns" tells the tale of a bizarre game of death and betrayed that finds Dave Mitchell, a member of the Calvary just discharged, fighting for his innocence -- and his identity -- when he is framed for murder.
The wild and glorious spirit of the West comes alive in the hands of America's greatest storyteller. Etching a harsh, haunting landscape with razor-sharp prose, Elmore Leonard shows with these brilliant stories why he has become the American poet laureate of the desperate and the bold.
