Originally published 1939.
Poetically written both in its loving descriptions of the western wilderness and its savage portrayals of its willful and often violent characters, Secret Valley is certainly among Jackson Gregory's most notable works. The New York Times said of it, "A gripping story, expertly told." It is written at the peak of an impressive career.
Ross Haveril has just returned from Latin America, where he sought his fortune in oil, to find himself neighbors with the man who stole that same fortune from him. He has learned, however, from the mistakes of his unruly family, and chooses a strategic solution over an immediate act of revenge. His patience is taxed, however, by an attraction the two men share for the beautiful daughter of a cruel and legendary gambler, sharing not being in either of their natures.
Genre: Western
