Open LibraryAbout this book
Two novels by masterful storyteller Lauran Paine. In Odd Partnership, gunfighter Lewis Morgan, sheltering from a snowstorm, overhears two assassins plotting to shoot a U.S. Marshall. The Marshall's reaction to this news presents a mystery, since he doesn't react with any alarm. Gunman's Moon opens with gunman Ralph Bolley being killed by a shotgun blast at the Rocking W Ranch. The arrest of the widowed owner of the ranch, and the trial that follows, causes trouble for the Deputy Sheriff.

About the author
Lauran Paine
25 Feb 1916 – 1 Dec 2001
Lauran Bosworth Paine (born Lawrence Kerfman Duby Jr., in Duluth, Minnesota) was an American writer. He wrote over 1000 books, including hundreds of Westerns as well as romance, science fiction, and mystery novels. He also wrote a number of non-fiction books on the Old West, military history, witchcraft, and other subjects. Because his publishers only accepted a limited number of books under a single author's name, Paine adopted dozens of pseudonyms. Youthful experiences in the livestock trade, rodeos, and even as a movie cowboy -- along with listening to the old timers around him -- have lent an unmistakable authenticity to his stories of the west.
