Lone Hand by T.V. Olsen

ISBN: 9781842629383
Large Print (Soft Cover) - 336 Pages
Published - 01-07-2013
Genre - Western
Price - £ 15.99

A short novel and ten stories, all of which capture Olsen at his best, Lone Hand takes the familiar theme of the gunfighter fleeing from his past and reinvents it with startling psychological depth. Jason's Journal is a ghost story of passion and betrayal set on the Arizona frontier. And rarely has Olsen reached the level of tension that he achieves in the masterful Five Minutes. But each tale in this collection is a fine example of Western storytelling at its peak, tales so authentic you can practically smell the smoke of the campfires.
