Description: "From the jungles of Borneo to the hidden canyons of the American West, from small-town fight clubs to a Parisian café at the end of World War II, here are tales of betrayal and revenge, courage and cowardice, glory and greed, as only Louis L'Amour can tell them ... A charasmatic boxer itches to fight all comers -- but his only shot at the championship is in beating the man who ruined his father ... A beautiful movie star finds a dead man in her apartment and begs her ex-lover, a tough private eye, to clear her name ... A reluctant hero guides a couple looking for diamonds up a river ruled by headhunters and pirates in pursuit of a legendary stone and the mysterious warlord who guards it ... A young renegade sails the South China Sea with a trio of dangerous men in search of treasure, but when it's time to divide the prize, can he trust any of them? ..."
