Eli Colter Knihy
Eli Colter, vlastným menom May Eliza Frost, bola plodnou autorkou pôsobiacou najmä v dvadsiatych a tridsiatych rokoch 20. storočia. Jej literárna stopa je predovšetkým v žánri westernov, ale preslávila sa aj svojimi „príbehmi zo života“ a podivnou fikciou. Svoje písanie prispôsobila špecifickým požiadavkám pulpových časopisov, kde jej poviedky a seriály často dosahovali vysokú čitateľskú popularitu. Svoje publikum si získala svojím napínavým štýlom a schopnosťou vtiahnuť čitateľov do svojich dramatických príbehov. Jej práce pre časopis Weird Tales, kde dosiahla významné uznanie aj medzi autormi ako H.P. Lovecraft, dokazujú jej schopnosť vytvárať pôsobivé a temné naratívy, ktoré rezonovali s dobovými čitateľmi.

The well-liked rancher had raised Kurt as his own after the boy's mother, Bess Quillan, was killed. The locals are irate and pursue Kurt, whom they now believe is a cold-blooded murderer. A stranger to Kurt, Bill Stagg has quit his job to help him. And crazy "Lispy Louie" -- who might not be so crazy after all -- has found and hidden Bess's will and other documents that might help Kurt out of the mess he's in.
