About this ebook
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the final book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy—an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism, Streets of Laredo is classic Texas and Western literature at its finest.
Captain Woodrow Call, August 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. This 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.

This gripping sequel to "Lonesome Dove" follows Captain Woodrow Call as he prepares to apprehend a ruthless killer, Joey Garza. McMurtry's storytelling genius paces Call's mission in a way that builds tension throughout the story, which, arguably, makes for more enjoyable reading than his magnum opus "Lonesome Dove." This tale is noticeably more violent than its predecessor. But themes of death, loss, and the effects time has on people make this one of McMurtry's finest books.
