| Book description |
With the passion of a born adventurer and the storytelling skills that have made him one of the world's most popular novelists, Louis L'Amour now takes us beyond the laws of man and nature into a world of legend, danger and mysterious adventure.
L'Amour's inspiration for The Haunted Mesa, his biggest hardcover bestseller ever, is a centuries-old enigma that has baffled historians: the sudden disappearance off that face of the earth of a race of Southwestern cliff dwellers the Navajo (Din'eh) called Anasazi.
Summoned to a dark desert plateau by the desperate letter of an old friend, renowned investigator Mike Raglan is slowly drawn into a world of mystery and violence, where he will ultimately learn the astonishing legacy of the Anasazi.
Drawing on his expensive knowledge of Indian lore and mysticism, as well as his love for the Southwest's Four Corners country, Louis L'Amour has written an authentically detailed epic adventure that teaks his readers across the most extraordinary frontier they have ever experienced. | |
