The Broken Gun - Louis L'Amour Western Mystery Novel
The Broken Gun delivers Louis L'Amour's signature blend of frontier adventure and historical intrigue. This classic western mystery follows writer and historian Dan Sheridan as he attempts to unravel a ninety-year-old cold case that has haunted Arizona's cattle country since the 1890s.
Plot Overview
When the Toomey brothers disappeared along with twenty-five men and four thousand head of cattle en route to Arizona, they left behind one of the Old West's most perplexing mysteries. Dan Sheridan, a writer specializing in frontier history, receives an unexpected invitation to visit the Toomey ranch from its current owner. The opportunity seems perfect for his research—until he discovers his host has no tolerance for writers, books, or anyone asking questions about the past.
What begins as historical research quickly transforms into a deadly game of survival. Sheridan finds himself hunted through Arizona's unforgiving wilderness by killers who will stop at nothing to keep the century-old secret buried. But these modern-day outlaws have underestimated their target: Dan Sheridan is no ordinary academic, and his knowledge of the Old West extends far beyond the written page.
