Publisher's summary

Considine and Pete Runyon had once been friends, back in the days when both were cowhands. But when Runyon married the woman Considine loved, the two parted ways. Runyon settled down and became a sheriff. Considine took up robbing banks.

Now Considine is planning a raid on the bank at Obaro, a plan that will pit him against Runyon...and lead to riches or suicide. The one thing he never counted on was meeting a strong, beautiful woman and her stubborn father, hell-bent on traveling alone through Apache territory to a new life. Suddenly Considine must choose between revenge and redemption - and either choice could be the last one he makes.

Not cookie cutter characters

If Louis Lamour writes it itwill be good. Bank robbers and a posse seems pretty cut and dry but it’s not. Short story but very enjoyable.

L'Amour and Strathairn combo is great

Would you consider the audio edition of High Lonesome to be better than the print version?

Louis L'Amour stories are great, and David Strathairn brings just the right touch of dramatization for the story - his voice seems to fit the exact mood and tone of the men and their environment. This is a thoroughly enjoyable performance, and like many of L'Amour's stories, leaves you wishing there were just a few more minutes left - just one more sub-plot to finish out.

High Lonesome

Another of Louis L'Amour's very fine westerns. It has some vehicle detailed research on the area where the story takes place. It is so easy to enjoy a book so well written.
