Other editions of book The Mysterious Rider

When a mysterious rider comes to the Bellounds Ranch, questions and rumors run through town in an attempt to discover where the man came from. There are no ready answers, but the townspeople soon come to find that the man is gentle, kind, and an expert gun slinger. He quickly earns the nickname “Hell Bent” Wade for his skill as a gun fighter, and no one in town can guess the role that he is meant to play in their town, especially not for a particular young woman, who some think has agreed to marry the wrong man.

Excerpt from The Mysterious Rider: A Novel The trail came up back of the bluff, through a clump of aspens with white trunks and yellow fluttering leaves, and led across a level bench of luxuriant grass and wild flowers to the rocky edge. She dismounted and threw the bridle. Her mustang, used to being petted, rubbed his sleek, dark head against her and evidently expected like demonstration in return, but as none was forthcoming be bent his nose to the grass and began grazing. The girl's eyes were intent upon some waving, slender, white-and-blue flowers. They smiled up wanly, like pale stars, out of the long grass that had a tinge of gold.
