Download The Slickers: In Which a Western Lawmen Cracks Down on Crime...in Manhattan AudioBook Free
Tex Larimee is a grizzled Arizona sheriff who's going out of the deserts of Cactus Region behind, blazing a trail east to mix it up with The Slickers in the canyons of Manhattan. Years later, Clint Eastwood would follow the same trail in Coogan's Bluff - a american lawman on the loose in NEW YORK. Tex's welcome to New York is a rude one. Robbed of his cash, gun, and badge, he's locked in a room in the rear of a run-down bar. Breaking out of the bar, he moves looking for his best ally...only to find him lifeless, his throat chop. Plus the cops accuse Tex of committing the murder.... But none of that's going to keep a good Arizona lawman down. Learning about he's been the subject of a more elaborate frame-up job, Tex offers a few steps of his own up his sleeve - and in his recovered Colt .45 - to make even the toughest of city parrots sing another tune. Much like Tex, L. Ron Hubbard was born and bred on the american frontier and made his way east to explore and experience life in NEW YORK. But unlike the sheriff, Hubbard appreciated his time in the town, where his writing career became popular as he became a leading shape in its literary world. He came to know the pavements and haunts of Manhattan as well as he understood the arroyos and canyons of the western, giving him the kind of insights he had a need to write reviews like "The Slickers". Also includes the mysteries "Killer Ape", in which a man frees a mistreated orangutan, only to end up with a monkey on his back, as he's accused of aiding and abetting the ape in an instance of murder; and "Murder Afloat", the story of a top narcotics cop in the U.S. Secret Service who's quest for a million-dollar rating could land him in some hot - and fatal - normal water. Strap on your six-gun and spurs and take a bite out of the NY as the sound version of "The Slickers" mixes up Untamed Western action with big city suspense.
