I just bought "The Hills of Homicide," a collection of eight
crime short stories by Western writer Louis L'Amour. Has
anyone here heard of the book or read it? I knew L'Amour had
written numerous stories outside the genre that made him
famous, but I wasn't aware that these in particular had been
anthologized. The Bantam edition does not provide any
information about the publication dates but L'Amour says in
the intro that he used to publish in the same magazines that
Hammett, Chandler and Woolrich did, so I assume he's
referring to Black Mask and similar titles. The stories are
billed as "hard-boiled" by L'Amour himself but I'm curious as
to what the members of this list think of them.
