The Devil's Lode

THREE CLASSIC TALES

Since the Golden Age of Western fiction, the name T. T. Flynn has been a guarantee of excitement and adventure. His classic novels The Man From Laramie and Two Faces West were both made into equally classic movies. Now three of his best short novels offer abundant evidence of his glowing talents. Perhaps no better example of Flynn's abilities can be found than the title tale, in which Paso Brand is hired to work as a guard at a gold mine—only to be attacked by outlaws before he can even report for work. Outlaws and gunmen, ranchers and lawman, the daring men and women of the West come alive again in the writing of T. T. Flynn!

T. T. Flynn (1902–1979) was born in Indianapolis, and lived much of his life on the road. With a taste for adventure since the age of fourteen, Flynn explored the vast terrain of the American West and took up various jobs as a fireman, oiler, mess boy, steersman, and ship’s carpenter. Flynn’s Western fiction increasingly came to encompass a concern for ethical principles and values, and his belief that there must be a balance in all things. He died in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
