The Key-Lock Man: A Novel (Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures)

Louis L'Amour's timeless Western narrative, newly repackaged under Bantam's Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures initiative, offers readers an enriched experience with exclusive content from Louis and Beau L'Amour. Leading a relentless pursuit across the desert, Matt Keelock's concern for Kristina intensifies. His routine trip to Freedom for supplies culminated in a deadly showdown, risking his life to evade capture and potential hanging. Despite Kristina's prowess with horse and rifle, the looming threat of Oskar Neerland chills Matt to the core. Neerland, consumed by violent obsession since Matt rescued Kris from his clutches, poses a grave danger, intent on their demise if given the chance. Matt's hope that Neerland had retreated East proves futile as Neerland assumes a new role as marshal in Freedom, spearheading the pursuit of Matt Keelock.
