Mysterious Rider

The mysterious rider appears at White Slides ranch like a ghost out of the past, and nothing will ever be the same. At its core, Mysterious Rider is a story about the weight of old wounds and whether a man can outrun the worst thing he has ever done. The rancher at White Slides struggles against rustlers threatening his livelihood while his daughter Columbine faces an impossible choice: marry the respectable but cold man her father has chosen, or follow her heart into uncertain terrain. When a stranger arrives with secrets etched into every mile he has traveled, these separate battles of duty and desire converge toward one explosive reckoning. Zane Grey writes with muscular prose and an understanding of the American West as both a physical place and a state of the soul. This is for readers who want their Westerns raw, their characters morally complicated, and their stories of redemption neither easy nor cheap.
