Product Description
He left the West at the age of seventeen, leaving behind a rootless past and a bloody trail of violence. In the East he became one of the wealthiest financiers in America—and one of the most feared and hated.
Now, suffering from incurable cancer, he has come back to New Mexico to die alone. But when an all-out range war erupts, Flint chooses to help Nancy Kerrigan, a local rancher. A cold-eyed speculator is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime, and Buckdun, a notorious assassin, is there to back his play.
Flint alone can help Nancy save her ranch…with his cash, his connections—and his gun. He still has his legendary will to fight. All he needs is time, and that’s fast running out….

Returning to his beloved West to die, James Kettleman is not at all who or what he appears to be to the casual observer. Raised in a rather unusual fashion by a quiet, deadly, and unusual man, Kettleman comes back to the West of his early years after some highly successful years in New York. This "Kid At The Crossing" (you'll understand once you begin reading) quietly steps off the train that has brought him back and finds himself smack-dab in the middle of trouble, and drawing unwanted attention. This is without a doubt THE BEST western novel that Louis L'Amour wrote. There are plenty of worthy contenders among his works (Conagher, Reilly's Luck, Hondo, The First Fast Draw, and others) but they all trail behind this one. It's full of intriguing characters, great character studies, superb descriptions of the New Mexico countryside, and plenty of action. Some well-written twists and surprises along the way, too. I can't count how many times I have read this one through the years!

Flint, in my opinion, was one of L'amour's greatest works. The book has a lot of depth, emotion, and an ingeneous storyline. I enjoyed it emmensly.

This western novel was voted one of the top twenty-five western novels of all time in 1977 by the Western Writers of America. An ex-gunfighter, turned New York financier, is told that he has cancer and he returns to the West to die. He soon finds himself fighting for a woman's ranch and for a reason to live. This is one of L'Amour's best westerns.
