Synopsis

Trueman Rock is a daring young cowboy and rider. Six years ago he had to leave the cowtown of Wagontongue because of a history of gunfights and run-ins with bad hombres. Since then, he’s become a man who only uses his gun when he needs to, on rustlers and crooks. Now, he’s returning to his hometown. But things have changed. The town and its people aren’t what they used to be. He expects to find some of his enemies there to welcome him, but instead finds they’re all dead. In their place is the Preston family.

The Prestons have just about taken over the town of Sunset Pass and reign supreme. But Trueman discovers that there’s a brooding mystery surrounding the Preston clan, centered on Ash, the eldest son. Ash is a cold, vicious, and slippery man. Unfortunately for Trueman, he finds himself falling in love with Thiry Preston, Ash’s sister. Ash holds a jealous love for her and she’ll do just about anything he says, and he’s ruined more than one love-struck cowboy before Trueman came along.

Trueman Rock's quest to win over the girl he’s fallen for brings him face-to-face with the sinister true face of the Preston clan and their control of Wagontongue, and he must confront them to be with Thiry and save the town he loves. Sunset Pass, first published in 1931, is another dramatic tale of the West by Zane Grey.

From Library Journal:

Our hero, Trueman Rock, returns to the town of Wagontongue after killing a man and an absence of six years. Many things are different, and as he walks down the familiar streets, he notices many changes in buildings and people. This book was originally published in 1931, and it does not boast the complex story line of many of Grey's other works, but the author and narrator Lloyd James have a great ability to draw the listener into Rock's world as he encounters the vile Ash Preston, who is terrorizing Wagontongue and Sunset Pass with an elaborate cattle-rustling operation. In the midst of all of this, Rock falls in love with Thiry Preston, the innocent sister of the bad guy. One of the strong points of this tale is the shining sincerity with which Grey depicts the story of their love. This is a powerful novel of love and loyalty and the depth of our attachment to our homes. James is a fine reader, and this should appeal to everyone, even those who do not normally pick up Westerns. Enthusiastically recommended for all libraries. Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX
