Those who enjoy Leonard’s terse two-fisted style will savor his early work with Westerns. Cleverly cast with skilled actors and produced with sensitivity and style, this collection fits in any audiobook aficionado’s collection. David Straitharn paints vivid and passionate word pictures, pushing the emotional envelope; Henry Rollins brings his burly reading style to the fore; William Atherton delivers a whiff of aural mesquite and rawhide while Tom Wopat lends a tough warmth to the proceedings. Each reader tackles his tale with professional zeal, and the marriage of voice to text makes this a consistently good listen. Leonard fans will be intrigued by signs of his future hipness.

Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America's frontier - with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunmen working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man's life with a well-placed bullet.
The New York Times best-selling grand master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with seven classic Western tales of destiny and fatal decision...and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.
