The Crimson Gardenia And Other Tales Of Adventure by Rex Beach ~ Full Audiobook [adventure]

The Crimson Gardenia And Other Tales Of Adventure by Rex Beach audiobook.

Genre: adventure

First published in 1916, The Crimson Gardenia and Other Tales of Adventure gathers eleven fast-moving stories from Rex Beach at the height of his popularity. The title novella drops blasé New York society man Roland Van Dam into the riotous color of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, where a simple costume and a white flower pinned to his chest turn him into the wrong man at the wrong moment. A masked young woman begs him to follow, warns him that danger is near, and pulls him into a night of secret signals, shadowy pursuers, and sudden tests of nerve, as carnival gaiety collides with real violence. From there, Beach ranges widely: a desperate fight for survival in the wake of political unrest, a hard bargain struck on the edges of the law, a storm-bound tale where words and courage matter as much as weapons, and Western episodes of gunplay, stampedes, and brand marks that can ruin a life. Across deserts, dance halls, and lonely outposts, Beach favors plain-spoken heroes who discover, too late to back out, what they will risk for love, pride, or simple decency.
