Synopsis

When Brazos Keene, a haunted cowboy with an honorable streak, comes across Twin Sombreros Ranch, he finds himself dragged into a vicious family feud. A convenient fall guy, Brazos is accused of the murder of Allen Neece, son of Abe Neece. The Neeces are the former owners of Twin Sombreros but lost it to the Surface family when their $50,000 herd of cattle mysteriously disappeared, turning the once-proud Abe into a broken man as he and his twin daughters are kicked off their former land.Brazos barely manages to avoid a hanging, but when he falls for one of the Neece girls, he decides he can’t just leave without finding out who really killed Allen and what’s at the bottom of this war over the ranch. As he starts to champion the Neece family, all hell breaks loose, and Bezos comes across one violent encounter after another. Brazos becomes an instrument of vengeance, furiously shooting his way through the web of lies and greed that now hangs over Twin Sombreros Ranch.Zane Grey returns with another grand story of action and romance, a tale from the true master of the Western about a good man doing what he can to right a wrong.

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey (January 31, 1872–October 23, 1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife, Lina Roth (Dolly) Grey, published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his bestselling book. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

Goodreads review by Gary on September 05, 2021

It's Zane Grey alright, but not on par with most of his excellent work. There's some of the great western atmosphere that he so eloquently describes, along with the wild west gun-play that no one does better. And, of course, the romance. Grey himself said that he wrote romance novels, and most of th......more

Thier game of switching back and forth of who was who, backfired on them when Brazos left them because of thier twisted game. A man's heart is nothing to play with since when it's shattere......more

Goodreads review by Joe on November 23, 2020

Two plot lines sewn together by the presence of the main character. The first plot is the cowboy as a detective; the second is the love triangle involving the cowboy. The hired gunfighters are expected to be the ones who force the gunplay, but in this story it's the main character, Brazos, who pushe......more
