The Steel Box

By: Max Brand

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

Lew Sherry and Pete Lang accept an offer they simply can't resist. Oliver Wilton is willing to pay the cowboys $1,000 a day for ten days to protect him from danger that has him living in a state of terror. A seafaring man has arrived at the inn in town and has made no secret of the fact that he's come to settle a score with Wilton. In the meantime, Wilton's niece, for whom he manages a half-million dollar trust, has been seen target practicing with a gun equipped with a silencer. Oliver Wilton has reason to fear for his life, but can two unwitting cowboys save it?

Riveting Story

Such wonderful characters. How did he bring them to life in my mind with such vibrance? I couldn't leave this book without wishing for more. Max Brand will live forever in his stories after such a short life.

Second story was one of the best Mac Brand stories I have read or listen to.

If you like mysteries and/or western stories this is a good book. I especially liked the second-story the steel box.
