The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard (Abridged)

by Elmore Leonard Narrated by Henry Rollins, David Strathairn, Tom Wopat, William Atherton

Overview

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.

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.
