Elmore Leonard: Hombre & Three-Ten to Yuma (UK 2025)

From the Publisher:
A remote stage-coach station is closing down and a small group of travellers are thrown together on the last wagon out: the mysterious Doctor Favor and his wife, a traumatised girl, a brutal stranger called Braden, the station manager, the sharp-eyed young narrator and John Russell, known simply as 'Hombre'. The reader can be quietly confident that some of these travellers will not be reaching their destination alive.

This superb Western, published in 1961, was one of the novels that made Elmore Leonard's reputation as someone who had single-handedly revived the genre. It was made into a film starring Paul Newman.

Also included is Leonard's celebrated short story 'Three-Ten to Yuma'.

Elmore Leonard: Three-Ten to Yuma and Other Stories (USA 2006)

From the Publisher:
Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America's frontier -- with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunmen working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man's life with a well-placed bullet. The New York Times-bestselling Grand Master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with seven classic western tales of destiny and fatal decision... and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.
