The Man from Skibbereen

by Louis Lamour

The Man from Skibbereen Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Crispin Mayo was a reckless young brawler who’d left his tiny fishing village for the vast American frontier. Headed west to join a railroad construction crew, he came upon an isolated station—and a mystery. The shack was abandoned, but fresh blood spattered the floor, and the telegraph was clicking away unattended. When Mayo stepped inside and put a hand on the telegraph key, he had no way of knowing the course of his life would change forever—and that he would become entangled with a band of Civil War veterans with a score to settle against the government…and a feisty young woman who’d risk anything to save the people she loved. Cris Mayo, who had never backed away from a fight in his life, was about to have his courage put to the ultimate test.

Synopsis:

L'Amour reveals the dangers and the romance of the West like no one has done before or after. A bold Irish lad who's good with his fists discovers it takes more than a right cross to stand up to a cutthroat band of Confederate renegades when he responds to the desperate plea of a lady.

Synopsis:

Crispin Mayo was a stranger to the law of the gun. He had come west from Ireland to seek his fortune—one man with nothing but his fists to protect him. What he found instead was trouble. A cutthroat band of Confederate renegades were planning a train kidnapping. It was none of Mayo's business—until the desperate plea of a lady changed his mind. Soon the diehard rebels would be very sorry indeed they'd ever crossed paths with the lone man from Skibbereen.
