THE KEY-LOCK MAN

The posse was aiming to string Matt Keelock up from the highest tree. But Keelock was smarter and faster than a coyote. He should have been running scared, but he was playing Injun with them... circling back and then coming up behind... harassing them... shooting up their canteens like clay pigeons. If they'd had any sense at all, they'd have turned back before they even started - because when Keelock ran out of funny business, there would be nobody left to laugh except the vultures.

LOUIS L'AMOUR

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
