Shalako — Louis L'Amour

LONE WOLF

He was a white man as cunning as any Indian, a brooding man who trusted in nothing but his weapon and his horse. Now Shalako was determined to cross the bleak Sonoran Desert -- the Apaches' killing ground -- by himself. But then he found a European hunting party -- and a brave and beautiful young woman -- stranded and defenseless. And Shalako knew that he had to stay and help them fight. For somewhere out there was a feared Apache warrior...and he had the worst kind of death in mind for them all.
