The story of a 14 year old girl, who along with U.S Marshall Rooster Cogburn and a Texas Ranger track down the killer of her father.
A great short read, so much better than the movie, where John Wayne was 25 years too old to play Cogburn.

This is the third time I've read this set of short espionage stories.
They are so much fun, each time feels like the first time.
Due to the film, when you mention this book , you get "its a love story". True, it is a love story but the real star is Russia.
This is fantastic, one of the top 10 novels I've read all time. It is one of those books you start reading and find that two hours has passed by .
Brilliant
You could never accuse Naiapul of playing it for laughs, in fact he becomes very hard work. His novels are great, his travel is great, these essays however, come across as written by a man with a massive chip on his shoulder about the world.
Great writing, not enjoyable reading
