Police detective Angus Campbell, a dour and methodical Scottish
American policeman, cordially disliked his partner, the ebullient
and overweight Irish cop Patrick O'Rourke. And the feeling was
cordially reciprocated by O'Rourke. Both were annoyed--but not
really concerned--about orders to guard the frantic millionaire
John Cobb on a late-night journey on the New York-Chicago train.
After locking Cobb in his compartment, they would look forward to
the pleasure of antagonizing each other in the club car. That is,
until Cobb turned up missing. Whoever was responsible--and there
were several possibilities among the passengers, including an
incomparably strong and handsome man, a breathtakingly beautiful
woman, and an improbably villainous stranger--had perhaps
discounted each detective individually, and perhaps justly so. But
what the malefactor could not know was the insight of their
superior, Inspector Corrigan: "Separate they're not much, but, when
they're together, they hate each other so much that they grind one
another sharp as razors."
"Seven Faces" originally appeared as six installments in
"Detective Fiction Weekly" during October and November 1936. This
edition--the first to collect the installments in book form, uncut
and as the author intended--introduces today's readers to a most
memorable detective duo.
Since Dracula's rise to power a shadow has swept across the nation, but nowhere is it darker than in the Deep South. Throughout the plantations, swamps, and cities, rumours abound of grotesque rituals, hooded figures, and bizarre creatures. Most terrifying of all, however, are the whispers of ancient magic - unspeakable arcane rituals and occult powers that can lead those who wield them towards mystical supremacy. or reduce them to gibbering wrecks.
This new supplement for Dracula's America: Shadows of the West introduces two new factions: the corrupt cultists of the Church of Dagon and the Salem Sisterhood, occult practitioners whose history dates back to the early Colonies. New stealth rules allow for all manner of sneaky and underhanded tactics, while expanded rules for arcane powers offer glory but could cost you your sanity. Alongside these are a host of new scenarios, Hired Guns, monsters, skills, and gear to challenge or assist those who dare venture into the Deep South of Dracula's America.

Blake Durant was one of the crew driving Jay Hurwood's cattle to
the railhead at Gabriel. The trail had been hard, but nothing more
than he'd expected. Then two murders were committed, right out on
the open prairie... and suddenly everyone became a suspect. Because
there hadn't been any love lost between Blake and Joe Sowarth,
Joe's brother, Lanny, was convinced that Blake was the killer, and
figured to even the score any way he could. But there was more
going on around Hurwood's trail drive than anyone could imagine,
and the only way Blake could clear his name was by finding the real
killer... and his sinister motive!
In 1908 John Neihardt (1881-1973) and two companions traveled the
Missouri River--about two thousand miles--in a twenty-foot canoe.
Originally published in "Outing Magazine" as a series of articles,
"The River and I" describes their adventures on that wild waterway
before it was dammed by the Army Corps of Engineers and points out
storied sites along the shore. The result transcends journalism;
Neihardt does for the Missouri what Twain did for the Mississippi.
This Landmark edition makes available once more the book that was
issued in 1910, two years before Neihardt began work on "A Cycle of
the West" and twenty-two years before the publication of "Black Elk
Speaks,"
One of the great sagas of our time, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In Lando, Louis L'Amour has created an unforgettable portrait of a unique hero.
A man never to count out....
For six long years Orlando Sackett survived the horrors of a brutal Mexican prison. He survived by using his skills as a boxer and by making three vows.
The first was to exact revenge on the hired killers who framed him. The second was to return to his father. And the third was to find Gin Locklear.
But the world has changed a lot since Lando left it. His father is missing. The woman he loves is married. And the killers want him dead. Hardened physically and emotionally, Lando must begin an epic journey to resolve his past, even if it costs him his life.
Drawn to the Arizona territory by tales of an Apache war party led
by a she-wolf, frontier newspaperman Kepler senses that his past
has come back to haunt him. Hidden behind an overturned stagecoach
with frightened Buffalo Soldiers and the woman he loves, Kepler
fears not the Apaches who ambushed them, but that it will be wolves
who rush in to slash and kill. Is he safe from the creature he
battled in the Colorado mountains? In a town called Vengeance,
Kepler finds new battles to fight, including facing down the most
ruthless gunman in the southwest. Will an alliance with a once
enemy keep him safe? In a war fought on the fringes of reality,
will fire and silver bullets be enough?
