The Killer from the Pecos

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Dramatization

Louis L'Amour brings you the Wild West as you've never heard it before. This classic story, complete with a full cast, stirring music and authentic sound effects, sweeps listeners back to the rough and ready days of America's frontier, where a man had to live by his wits...and his gun. Death is no stranger to Almagre, a rough boomtown in which the local cemetery, Boot Hill, is almost as crowded as the saloons. Almagre had sprung up in just under two years with a silver strike, and in that short time, it had buried three town marshals.

Into this wild and bloody town rides Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie, trailing a Pecos bank robber who left two men dead. All Bowdrie has to go on is an unconvincing eyewitness description, a name scrawled on a tattered post card...and his own skills as a master tracker. But it's his skill with a gun Bowdrie will need when he looks for answers in Almagre. For the town is gripped in a stranglehold by a ruthless cattle baron named Bonelli. To bring his quarry back, Bowdrie will pin on the marshal's star to face down Bonelli and his gunmen--in a town where a badge is a death warrant.©1998 Louis L'Amour; (P)2008 Random House Audio

Dramatized are the best!

I love Louis L Amour books! I've been reading them since I was a kid. Enjoying them in dramatized audio version on my iPod and my Bose speaker is a real pleasure.

Another excellent Louis L'Amour

This is a short story but still filled with the suspense and action of any Louis L'Amour story. This audio has multiple speakers which makes for very distinct voices.

I love Chick Bowdrie

Louis L'Amour is by far my favourite author and the Chick Bowdrie Series is #2 in my top 3 series of his. The details that he places in these stories is unparalleled and it is a shame that he is no longer with us. If you are an up and coming writer or you just want a good story Louis L'Amour is the way to go. As well he didn't write only westerns one of his best novels was The Walking Drum and it was set in Europe it is my favourite book of his and that is in part because he did so well with a subject that was not his normal focus and its depth enthralled me I would suggest his work any and all readers hope you love it as I do.
