Escape From Five Shadows

ELMORE LEONARD

Publication: Dell Publishing Company, Inc, 1957, New York

First paperback edition. Dell 940. Pictorial, color wrappers. Originally published as a hardcover edition in 1956 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Author's third Western novel. Lightly rubbed along spine and spine ends and an ink check mark on first printed page, else a near fine copy of a difficult title. "Wrongly convicted and imprisoned in the brutal labor camp at Five Shadows, Corey Bowen is an innocent man. The camp is run by a sadistic embezzler willing to kill to keep his scheme running. But Bowen is determined to break out or die trying. The trackers have already caught him once, dragged him back through the mesquite and rocks, and beat him near death after his last attempt. This time, he’ll have help from a lady with murder on her mind and a debt to pay back. They say that breaking out of Five Shadows is impossible, but Bowen is a different breed - and this time he will go to any extreme to escape."
