It is, but with a twist. "Escape From Five Shadows" is a story that recalls movies from the 50's. Instead of a town and a rancher's daughter, it's a prison and a stage depot manager's daughter. You would expect the hero to be rugged and good looking and he is. To escape prison and run away with the manager's daughter may be the gist of the story, but it is also a story of justice and injustice, western style. Corey Bowen is being held in an Arizona convict work camp building a road. The camp foreman and superintendent are corrupt and the foreman especially brutal to the men. Corey is there convicted of rustling cattle he didn't steal. Convinced he was set up by a wealthy cattleman, he breaks out to confront the man but is immediately caught. While free, he meets a young woman who believes he is innocent and finds a lawyer to take his case. Before she can tell Corey they have discovered the truth, he breaks out again leading to a show down with the foreman who he cannot kill because if he does, it will be back to prison for murder. Fast paced and well developed story & characters for which Leonard is known. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Corey Bowen is an innocent man. Wrongly convicted, and imprisoned in the brutal labor camp at Five Shadows run by a sadistic embezzler willing to kill to keep his scheme running, Bowen is determined to break out or die trying. The trackers have already caught him once, dragged him back through the mesquite and rocks, and beat him bloody and near dead after his last attempt. But this time he'll have help--from a lady with murder on her mind and a debt to pay back. They say that breaking out of Five Shadows is impossible--but Bowen is a different breed, and this time he will go to any extreme to escape. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
