Back in the roaring '70's, deep in the picturesque fastnesses of Utah, this drama unfolds like a swift battle film of Robbery.  Never has there been such a tensely gripping battle as the fight that took place in Robbers' Roost between rival outlaw gangs where the toughest cattle rustlers and the hardest shooting men fought it out for a day and a night in an inaccessible canyon.  There Helen Herrick, the beautiful English girl was held for ransom of the Robber chief.  There, too, Jim Wall played gang against gang in a desperate attempt to save this girl who once had struck him in the face with her riding quirt.

Every quality for which Zane Grey is dear to his readers can be found in this book.  Passionate love that dares untold dangers, the horror and fascination of the real bad men of the west, all against a background, now sinister, now gorgeous of the Utah mountains, deserts and canyons.

Back Dustjacket Endflap Promotional Text: Code of the West by Zane Grey
When Georgiana Stockwell came to the Tonto Basin from the East she had heard neither of chivalry nor of loyalty, she cared only to have the attention of as many men as possible and to have her own way with them.  There were plenty of men in the Tonto Basin, and before she had been there half an hour the trouble started, for play in the West leads to gun play and Georgiana painfully learned the Code of Chivalry.

This is one of Zane Grey's most expert thrilling tales, its pages crowded with action, adventure and all the rich colors of a romantic country that Zane Grey knows so well.

Zane Grey has lived the rugged life he writes about in his books. The wild fierce blood of Indian chiefs flows in his veins.  All his stories are splendidly American, thrilling, romantic, packed with action and color.
