Montana, 1968: The small town of Paradise Valley is ripped open
when popular rancher and notorious bachelor Tom Butcher is found
murdered one morning, beaten to death by a baseball bat. Suspicion
among the tight-knit community immediately falls on the outsider,
Carl Logan, who recently moved in with his family and his troubled
son Roger. What Carl doesn't realize is that there are plenty of
people in Paradise Valley who have reason to kill Tom Butcher.
Complications arise when the investigating officers discover that
Tom Butcher had a secret-a secret he kept even from Junior Kirby, a
lifelong rancher and Butcher's best friend. As accusations fly and
secrets are revealed one after another, the people of Paradise
Valley learn how deeply Tom Butcher was embedded in their lives,
and that they may not have known him at all. With familiar mastery,
Russell Rowland, the author of In Open Spaces and Fifty-Six
Counties, returns to rural Montana to explore a small town torn
apart by secrets and suspicions, and how the tenuous bonds of
friendship struggle to hold against the differences that would
sever us.
As part of the Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures series, this edition
contains exclusive bonus materials! Kilkenny wasn't looking for
trouble when he entered the Clifton House stage station, but
trouble found him when a reckless youngster named Tetlow challenged
him, drew his gun, and paid for it with his life. Looking to escape
a reputation that he never wanted, Kilkenny settles in the lonely
mountain country of Utah, planning to ranch a high, lush valley.
But the past is on his trail. Jared Tetlow is a powerful rancher
determined to run his vast herd on the limited grasslands
there--whether he has to buy out the local ranchers, run them out,
or kill them. He'll cut down anyone who stands in his way,
especially a man he already despises: the gunman named
Kilkenny--the man who killed his son. Louis L'Amour's Lost
Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more
unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis
L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L'Amour takes the reader
on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short
stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to
publish during his lifetime. L'Amour's never-before-seen first
novel, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program,
is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These
exciting publications will be followed by Louis L'Amour's Lost
Treasures: Volume 2. Additionally, many beloved classics will be
rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring
previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes,
and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the
stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.
