"Returning after five years, Tom McComber found that the peaceful little Nevada town hadn't changed much. The Circle-M, the hugh ranch that his father had held through years of bitter conflict, was still intact. One thing, however, was changed. Tom's former wife was going to marry his father! Nevada, the suspenseful sequel to Forlorn River, continues to be one of Zane Grey's most beloved novels."
