In the heart of 19th-century Paris, Julian Mercier and Édouard Manet share a friendship that has weathered more than three decades of trials and tribulations. They navigate the tumultuous world of art and criticism, where every stroke of the brush and every word written hold the power to shape their destinies. When Édouard's life draws to a close, Julian stands among the mourners at his funeral, reminiscing about their enduring bond. Memories of shared laughter and fierce battles against critics flood Julian's mind, set against the backdrop of the vibrant world of 19th-century Paris. But it isn't all camaraderie and creativity. When Édouard challenges a critic to a duel over a scathing critique, Julian fears for his friend's life. The duel in the serene Saint-Germain Forest becomes a battle not just of swords but of ambition and ego. As swords clash and lives hang in the balance, Julian and Édouard, navigate the treacherous waters of artistic rivalry. With wit, courage, and a hint of irony, "The Shadow of an Artist" explores the enduring power of friendship, the complexities of artistic ambition, and the lengths one will go to defend their passion.

The Indians called the great white wolf the Lightning Warrior because of the swiftness with which he can parry and attack. A bounty for the head of the Lightning Warrior, but no one is able to capture him. That is, until the red-haired, blue-eyed giant of a man known only as Cobalt comes to town. Struck by the charm of Sylvia Baird, Cobalt announces his intention to marry her. Sylvia's father disapproves, as does her friend, Tom Chalmers. Sylvia is only amused and, on a lark, proposes as an engagement gift that Cobalt must capture the Lightning Warrior himself. He cannot use trap, knife, or bullet. The pelt must be clear of any blemish when he brings it to her.

Recently, a number of Western stories have been discovered among Max Brand's unpublished works and the first story in this book, "The White Streak," is one of them. Its protagonist is twenty-one-year-old Jimmy Babcock, a former football star, but now a worker at the local bank run by William Parker in the town of Dresser, which has changed from cattle country to one made up of oil and alfalfa fields. When Parker fires Jimmy, all Jimmy can think is how he will hurt Muriel Aiken, his fiancée, who wants to marry. When his father signs over the old family homestead that is in serious need of repair, Jimmy feels better. But an unexpected invitation from Parker to meet him at the Club convinces him that Parker wants him back. When he learns what Parker really has in mind, Jimmy finds himself recalling the stories he has heard about the notorious robbers the White Streak and Utah Billie, and he has to make a hard decision. In "The Masked Rider" the betrothed of Carlos Torreño, Lucia d'Arquista, is making her way to Casa Torreño in Spanish California in which no expense has been spared in making her journey a lavish one by her soon-to-be father-in-law, Francisco Torreño. But it is on the journey that Francisco decides that Lucia is a sparrowhawk and that she must be watched carefully, especially once she takes an interest in Taki, a Navajo who is working off a debt to Francisco.
