Lonely is the Life of a Thief
The blurb on the older editions of this book--the one I have--always stated that Louis L'Amour writes stories that "take off like a bullet". And they do; that is no lie. This ones does that. Considine robs a bank on the second page of the book and hurries toward the Mexican border. But he has seen this girl and when he sees her agains he knows she is the one for him. Only she is surrounded by Apaches. He does the right thing and drops the gold and sets out to rescue her. Behind him of course is a posse. He has few chances in succeeding in either saving the girl or getting away with the money. A typical L'Amour product worthy of being read.
