Louis L'Amour is an American legend, a master storyteller whose tales of action and heroic adventure echo his own intrepid exploits. This book collects for the first time in one volume nine of his extraordinary stories - some long out of print and unavailable anywhere else, some never before published.
From the jungles of Borneo to the hidden canyons of the American West, from small-town fight clubs to a Parisian cafe at the end of World War II, these are tales of betrayal and revenge, courage and cowardice, glory and greed, as only Louis L'Amour can tell them.
Here are vintage stories of men and women who dare what others will never attempt, who fight of justice and dreams when the odds are against them. A charismatic boxer with quick hands and a hair-trigger temper itches to fight all comers - but if he's ever going to get a shot at a championship, he will first have to fight the man who ruined his father. A beautiful movie star finds a dead man in her apartment and begs a former lover to clear her name, only to enmesh the tough private eye in a murder with ties to the mob.
Along with tales of high adventure, the collection of stories in 'Off The Mangrove Coast' once more shows Louis L'Amour at his storytelling best.
