Dead Ringer

A Western Trio

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: Lloyd James

In the first in this trio of Western stories by Louis L'Amour - "Black Rock" - Jim Gatlin, a Texas trail driver, arrives in the town of Tucker where he finds himself quickly drawn into the middle of an all-out battle for the XY Ranch when, due to a case of mistaken identity, he kills the segundo of Wing Cary's Flying C Ranch. Gatlin is a dead-ringer for Jim Walker, who, like Cary, wants control of the XY. Gatlin is thrown into a situation in which all he can do but fight for his life.

Seventeen-year-old Shandy Gamble in "Gamble of the KT" is in Perigord with plans to buy a new saddle and bridle with the $500 in reward money he had received for catching two horse thieves, but instead he gets conned out of the money. He returns to the KT Ranch never mentioning what happened. But when he learns the con man is back and hanging out with the June gang, he decides it's time to get his money back and even the score.

Always a fighting man, both for the US Army and in battles across the ocean, Tom Kedrick in "Showdown Trail" has been hired to help run off the squatters and outlaws occupying a strip of land claimed to be unusable swamp. When he learns that he is being misled by his new bosses and that the squatters are honest and hardworking settlers, including one of his father's old friends, he has to determine which side he will fight for.

Louis L'Amour is the most decorated author in the history of American letters, and his stories are loved the world over.

love me some Lamour

as always, great stuff by L'Amour. I was able to listen to this for free with my audible account. the reader did a great job.

Still my favorite author

Louis L'Amour remains a favorite writer and thes books are no exception. Great entertainment of the old west.

This is a compilation of three stories.

When you read this, it may sound confusing o you. Why? First, this book was purchased in the middle of the night. I listen with headphones o as to create a quiettmosphere
Or so they say. I got rather confused, and truly didn’t know these were 3 separate short stories. Funny thing was that I felt the second one would wrap back around to the Dead Ringer. Finally, it came to me that this was a separate story. It took going back and rereading the end of Dead Ringer. Only then I realized it was 2 books! Why 2? Because I couldn’t see the break between 2 and 3!

Well Narrated

The Stories are both excellent but it's the narrator that makes them come to life

Western Mystery

A very good book. The reader did a great job. One book I will listen to again.

Wonderful and Rich Western

L'Amour has a fantastic technique to tell a story. His characters are described quick and upright. The events move forward to keep you engaged. I love how horses are described just as importantly as those who ride them. This is an enjoyable story narrated by a wonderful voice. Thanks for taking me on the adventure!
