Streets of Laredo

by Larry Mc Murtry (Author)

Synopsis

In the long-awaited sequel to Lonesome Dove , Larry McMurtry spins an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, Augustus McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal, young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena -- once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. Their long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town, and finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

Gorgeous...violent, funny, achingly sad, filled with heroism and regret....If you can put Streets of Laredo down, I'll eat my ten-gallon hat.


One of McMurtry's most powerful and moving achievements. -- Los Angeles Times


A marvelous novel in its own right and in every way a worthy successor to Lonesome Dove . -- Chicago Tribune


Streets of Laredo is a splendid addition to the literary portrait of McMurtry's native Texas and the West that he has been creating for three decades. It's also one of his most affectingly melancholy books. . . . The characters are as finely etched as any McMurtry has ever minted. -- Newsweek


Larry McMurtry remains a genius at dialogue. The scene where the seven whores start reminiscing about the first men in their lives in wonderful. -- New York Times Book Review


Larry McMurtry is a wonderful storyteller, and with . . . Streets of Laredo . . . he has written a novel that is even better than the original--and that was one hell of a tale. -- Boston Globe
