Publisher's Synopsis
He came to the Belllounds ranch--the Mysterious Rider--no one knew from where; a man of middle age, gentle, kindly, but so terrible a gun-fighter that they called him "Hell Bent" Wade. He played the part of fate in all their lives, and only when the inevitable tragedy came and the Mysterious Rider made the great sacrifice, did they know. Then out of the shadow of that tragedy, Columbine came into the sunshine of love. A novel written with that literary charm and beauty of which Zane Grey is master; swift-moving, full of the glamour of romance and adventure, and with the breath of Western plains and mountains in its pages.
