TROUBLE SHOOTER（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Hopalong Cassidy is one of the most enduring and popular
heroes in frontier fiction. His legendary exploits in books,
movies, and on television have blazed a mythic and unforgettable
trail across the American West. Now, in the last of four Hopalong
Cassidy novels written by Louis L’Amour, the immortal saddleman
rides again–this time into a lonely valley of danger and death.
Hopalong Cassidy has received an urgent message from the dead.
Answering an urgent appeal for help from fellow cowpuncher Pete
Melford, he rides in only to discover that his old friends has been
murdered and the ranch Pete left to his niece, Cindy Blair, had
vanished without a trace. Hopalong may have arrived too late to
save Pete, but his sense of loyalty and honor demands that he find
that cold-blooded killers and return to Cindy what is rightfully
hers. Colonel Justin Tradwar, criminal kingpin of the town of
Kachina, is the owner of the sprawling Box T ranch, and he has
built his empire with a shrewd and ruthless determination. In
search of Pete’s killers and Cindy’s ranch, Hopalong signs on at
the Box T, promising to help get Tradway’s wild cattle out of the
rattler-infested brush. But in the land of mesquite and black
chaparral, Cassidy confronts a mystery as hellish as it is
haunting–a bloody trail that leads to the strange and forbidding
Babylon plateau, to $60,000 in stolen gold, and to a showdown with
an outlaw who has already cheated death once… and is determined
to do it again. When Clarence E. Mulfold–the original Hopalong
Cassidy–retired, he chose the young Louis L’Amour to carry on the
Hopalong tradition in four classic novels, including “The New York
Times” best-sellers The Rustlers of West Fork, The Trail to Seven
Pines, and The Riders of High Rock. Long out of print and now
published for the first time under the author’s own name, Trouble
Shooter is a vividly authentic tale of the Old West that bears the
unmistakable Louis L’Amour brand of swift, sure action, hard-fought
justice, and frontier courage. Capturing the unquenchable thirst
for adventure, the passions that drove men, and the perils that
awaited the, in an untamed new land, this extraordinary early novel
gives us Louis L’Amour at the height of his powers–an enduring
testament to America’s favorite storyteller.
