This classic western is based on the historic character Cattle Kate whose notorious beauty persuaded cowboys to steal cattle for her. Here is the Maverick Queen and the cowboy in her power is Linc Bradway who comes to town looking for the killer of his partner. After his partner is killed during a card game, Linc Bradway goes to South Pass, Wyoming, to find the killer. But South Pass is overrun with gamblers and gunslingers, and Bradway's search leads him straight into the bloody action where he finds he's going to need much more than a gun to stay alive.

Par autoru

Zane Grey was born Pearl Zane Gray in 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He studied dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania, married Lina Elise Roth in 1905, then moved his family west where he began to write novels. The author of 86 books, he is today considered the father of the Western genre, with its heady romances and mysterious outlaws. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) brought Grey his greatest popular acclaim. Other notable titles include The Light of Western Stars (1914) and The Vanishing American (1925). An extremely prolific writer, he often completed three novels a year, while his publisher would issue only one at a time. Twenty-five of his novels were published posthumously. His last, The Reef Girl, was published in 1977. Zane Grey died of heart failure on October 23 in Altadena, California, in 1939.
