Here are tales of innocents caught in the schemes of criminals, detectives hunting down truths that hide more lies, gangsters and beauties, private investigators and cops.

Included here is this collection are Police Band, Dead Man’s Trail, The Hills of Homicide, and The Sucker Switch. Written and performed in the crackling pulp fiction style of the 1940’s and 50s these thrilling, atmospheric stories course with authenticity and bear the mark of a timeless master.

"A great story teller. The only thing I didn't like was all the boxing stories in a row against the mob. Still good though, I really like the Private Eye Kip. I still recommend this as Louis L'Amour really new how to write a story."

— John, 9/2/2013
Overall Performance:
" I've always found Louis L'Amour's popularity bewildering. Thinking it due to my horsehit allergy, I gave this collection of his crime/sports stories a whirl. I remain bewildered; nothing but utterly undistnguished pulp fodder here. Perhaps America is insane. "

Overall Performance:
" Lots of stories, generally dealing with the Pacific Islands. Approximate dates for the stories are 1930's through 1950's. I found this compilation not as good as some of his others. "
