Summary
Zane Grey: The Robber's Nest
One of the most dynamic and tense novels in the rich oeuvre of Zane Grey, set in the harsh and fascinating regions of Utah. The story follows Jim Waller, a mysterious horseman with a dark past, who flees the law and finds refuge and work on the secluded, remote ranch of a wealthy English settler, Herrick.
Herrick, not knowing the laws of the Wild West, hires two opposing groups of rough cowboys and outlaws to guard his huge herd of cattle. Among them is a notorious gang that plans to kidnap Herrick's beautiful and proud sister Helen, and steal all of his property. When the plan fails and the outlaws take Helen to their inaccessible, hidden rock sanctuary known as the Robbers' Roost, Jim Waller becomes her only hope for salvation. Torn between his own past, desire for revenge and unexpected love, Jim must face the entire gang alone in a deadly mountain maze.
