Book
The lonely men / Louis L'Amour.
Tell Sackett had been lured into the Apache's mountain stronghold by the icy beauty of his brother's wife. He didn't go alone. John J. Battles, Spanish Murphy and the half-breed Tampico rode beside him. Each was driven by his past to test his speed and cunning against an enemy who could smell a white man a mile away-and then shoot his eyes out at a dead gallop. It was a contest few men could enter-and fewer still could hope to win.

In order to seek revenge on the Sackett family whom she believes destroyed her father, Laura Pritts Sackett dupes her brother-in-law Tell into undertaking a deadly mission through Apache territory to search for her kidnapped son - Baker & Taylor
In order to seek revenge on the Sackett family whom she believes destroyed her father, Laura Pritts Sackett dupes her brother-in-law Tell into undertaking a deadly mission through Apache territory to search for her kidnapped son. Reissue. - Random House, Inc.
In The Lonely Men, Louis LâAmour spins the tale of a man who must elude an Apache trapâonly to discover that his greatest enemy might be very close to home.
Tell Sackett had fought his share of Indians and managed to take something of value from his battles: a deep and abiding respect. But that respect is lost when Apache braves kidnap his nephew, forcing Tell to cross the border into the Sierra Madres to bring the boy back. What troubles Tell more, though, is the boyâs mother: Could she possibly be inventing a rescue mission to deliver her husbandâs brother into an ambush?
Tell knows that the only things he can depend on are his wits and cold steel. But against such adversaries, even these formidable weapons may not be enough.
