Synopsis
This book chronicles the life and legacy of Hank Peyton, a legendary outlaw whose violent nature is mirrored in the treacherous landscape of the untamed West. As he nears death, he leaves behind a notorious reputation and a sizable inheritance for his son, the thoughtful and compassionate Jerry Peyton. Despite his father's past shortcomings, Jerry is filled with affection for him and sets out to repay the community for the outlaw's crimes. In the midst of Jerry’s quiet life of working as a ranch hand when needed and enjoying the companionship of his beloved horse Nelly, tragedy strikes. Nelly is injured beyond recovery on a broken fence, and word quickly spreads to her owner, Jan van Zandt. Fearful of Jerry’s possible violent retaliation, Van Zandt appeals to the local sheriff. Being well aware of Hank Peyton’s history, the sheriff urges Van Zandt to leave the territory for his own safety, but the stubborn landowner refuses. The tension escalates until Van Zandt brings a case against Jerry for his role in Nelly’s death. Despite the evidence against him, Jerry declares his innocence and refuses to pay. This sets off a chain reaction that reveals the true nature of the community. Jerry and his supporters engage in a violent showdown against Van Zandt and his allies, leading to tragic consequences that change the lives of everyone involved.
