An exotic island in the Coral Sea is transformed into a tropical
nightmare when it’s taken over by a band of hijackers–and only a
daredevil pilot can stop their brutal carnage. A former boxer blows
the lid off a vicious crime ring–and finds that his worst enemy is
not a thug with a gun but his own tenacious curiosity. A
down-on-his-luck rancher discovers the key to his own
redemption–and desperately hopes that his revelation has not come
too late for him to win the one thing he wants most of all. A
private eye navigates the twists and turns of a labyrinthine
whodunit–and proves that the greatest risk to a man’s honor is his
own greed. The title story “With These Hands” is a powerful tale
that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit, as an oil company
executive finds himself the sole survivor of an Arctic plane crash.
Fighting for his life against the perilous cold and looming
starvation, he resists the temptation to surrender to death–only
to discover a life-affirming strength he never knew he had. Vivid
in scope and displaying the diverse talents of a master
storyteller, the stories in With These Hands are certain to be
treasured by both old and new fans, celebrating the incomparable
imagination of a timeless American author.
