Synopsis

Cattleman Jim Gatlin isn't the kind of man who goes looking for a fight. But he never turns away when one comes looking for him. And that's just what happens when he finds himself mistaken for another man - a man who has some very dangerous enemies.

Like it or not, Gatlin is a dead ringer for the only man in town who stands between the ruthless Wing Carey and the ownership of the XY Ranch. Framed for murder, Gatlin suddenly finds himself the town's most wanted man. Now he must clear his name and help a pretty young woman by putting his own bid on the XY.

Reviews

It has been several decades since I read any cowboy tale by Louis L’Amour. I might give him another chance but it won’t be on the basis of Black Rock Coffin Makers (a bad title for this mediocre book). This story has only the usual elements: Jim Garlin, a square-jawed, honest guy with a lot of money......more

Haven't read any L'Amour in quite awhile! It was great to go through this story again. Love it!......more

Goodreads review by Jim on May 22, 2021

This isn't the correct edition. Mine was a straight narration by Stefan Rudnicki, one of my favorites. The story is pretty typical. Guy rides into town & gets involved in an issue. Of course, he wins, does the right thing, & winds up with the girl. Just under an hour long, so just fun.......more

Goodreads review by Robyn on June 28, 2024

Not the best L’Amour I’ve read but finding an audio version read by Willie Nelson elevates it considerably.......more

I think I'll read more L'Amour. I enjoyed the setting and characters - good light reading.......more
