Synopsis

In Riders of the Purple Sage, Zane Grey's enduring classic, Jane and her friends must escape the clutches of her most dangerous enemies. The story continues in his sequel, The Rainbow Trail.

John Shefford rode into Utah in search of a new life, and when he met Fay Larkin, a beautiful woman charged with murder, he knew he had found it. Breaking her out of jail was the easy part. Now he has a posse and violent bands of Indians to outrun; a murderous trek through a trackless waste; and a brutal passage through white-water hell.
