Code of the West

This is an epic tale, whose roots are as much in the legends of King Arthur as in the Old West. Jimmy Goodnight astounds a Texan country fair by easing an embedded axe from an anvil. The prize money enables him to establish a cattle ranch in an isolated canyon, taking with him a team who share his ambitions. With one in particular, Jack Loving, he forges a formidable relationship of complete trust, the bedrock on which Goodnight's growing empire rests. All goes well until Goodnight makes an unforgiving enemy, takes on an Eastern big businessman as a partner and falls in love with his beautiful daughter. Code of the West is a powerful love story, a sweeping adventure, a great 'Western' and a great example of the unexpected, unusual and highly successful novel which has sealed Aaron Latham's reputation.
