Story
When Nolan Sackett met Penelope Hume in a cantina at Borregos Plaza, the girl immediately captured his attention. That she was heir to a lost cache of gold didn’t make her any less desirable. But Penelope isn’t the only one after her grandfather’s treasure; Sylvie, Ralph, and Andrew Karnes, distant relatives with no legal claim to the gold, are obsessed with claiming the Hume fortune for themselves. Their all-consuming sense of entitlement recklessly drives them to ambush and murder.

poor editing
Excellent story and terrific narration. The recording was obviously edited for time and the beginning of several sections were cut off. This didn't detract from the story but it was a little annoying.

Another part of the Sackett family tree heard from.
A story to move any reader. A drifting man not particular about which side of the law he's landed on this time, a lady of the frontier who's reached her silver years and not allowed to enjoy them, and a greedy, conniver who doesn't miss a trick to eliminate the elder woman to take the ranch she's defending. Finding that the drifter and the lady are relatives from the same hills of Tennessee, the lines drawn in the sand and the family pulls together the way we all wished our own would. One of my favorite Sackett books, this audio rendition brings it into a new sphere of enjoyment. The narrator gave a right on performance!

The Sacketts are a great series.
Louis L'Amour and the Sacketts are like old friends to me. I have read the books many times and have now started listening to them. The language is clean and the descriptions of violence are not too graphic. If you enjoy Western or frontier stories the Sacketts are almost can't miss.

Love the Sackett books. Logan is such a bad ass!
I just wish Louis L'Amour could of lived long enough to tie his familys together. The Sacketts, Talons, and Chantrys. Never read a bad L'amour book. He puts you right there in the moment and on the trails.
