The Opening Chapters of Heller With A Gun
The opening chapters of Heller With A Gun are some of my favorites that Louis L’amour ever wrote. King Mabry is stalked through the Wyoming snow by a man sent to kill him. Mabry knows and understands the danger, but isn’t willing to take any chances with the cold weather or with the man following him.
When they find shelter Mabry immediately begins to figure out a way to turn the tables, making the man uncomfortable in the freezing cold, and eventually forcing him to expose himself long enough for Mabry to shoot him. Mabry doesn’t kill the man, but doesn’t leave him to die in the cold either.
Though the suspense is of course dependent upon my personal suspension of disbelief, the first chapter, even after reading several times continues to capture my attention.
