Here is a collection of Louis L'Amour detective storiesâ??vivid tales as memorable and exciting as his beloved frontier fiction. Each story is personally selected and introduced by the author.

In the dark alleys of the pulsing cities and the savage criminal wildernesses, Louis L'Amour introduces a new brand of characters: men like Kip Morgan, the ex-fighter turned detective who is tough enough to bounce a bouncer yet has more up his sleeve than sheer muscle; Joe Ragan, the dedicated career cop who fears nothing in the pursuit of justice; and women whose soft laughter covers their underlying cruelty.

These are fast-moving stories of brawls where if a man goes down and doesn't get up fast enough he's through, of flashing knives that whisper death, of guns that blaze their fatal fire through the blackest nigh

When I was a kid, I got hooked reading westerns primarily written by Louis L’Amour. My dad introduced me to them. While in high school and my early Air Force years, I read every one I could get my hands on. That is quite a lot of books because he has over 120 in print. While on a trip to Montana, I stopped in a used bookstore and found a volume that I had not read. I was thrilled to get my hands on The Hills of Homicide. What added to my excitement was that it was a book of short detective stories. I had an opportunity to see another side of L’Amour. Read more ( )

There are plenty of tough cops, gutsy dames, and murderous mobsters, as well as lots of gunfire in this story collection. While the plots are not as complicated as other books in the hardboiled detective genre, I still found these tales entertaining. ( )

Personally I actually prefer these stories --revised versions of pulp hardboiled detective stories -- to many of L'Amour's westerns for which he is better known. Some of the westerns seem pretentious (due to research?) and didactic while these stories are straightforward ( )
