Glorious

A Novel of the American West





New York Times-bestselling author of The Last Gunfight Jeff Guinn turns his eye for evocative detail and history to a sweeping novel of the Old West -- weaving a compelling tale of life in the Arizona Territory in 1872.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Last Gunfight turns his eye for evocative detail to a sweeping novel of the American West that “will delight historical fiction fans longing for the return of classic Westerns” (Library Journal).

Cash McLendon has always had an instinct for self-preservation, honed by an impoverished childhood with an alcoholic father on the streets of St. Louis. He eventually builds himself up to become the son-in-law and heir apparent to industrial mogul Rupert Douglass. But when tragedy strikes and his life falls apart, his instinct for survival kicks in and he flees St. Louis before Douglass and his enforcer can track him down.

With nothing to lose, McLendon decides to search out an old flame. He’s heard through the grapevine that Gabrielle and her father moved their dry goods store out west, to a speck-on-the-map mining town named Glorious, in Arizona Territory. There, as he tries to win her back, he discovers a new life and community. But he can’t outrun his past forever...

Praise for Glorious

"This first installment in a trilogy will delight historical fiction fans longing for the return of classic Westerns. This entertaining outing is sure to keep the saloon doors swinging for more entries in the genre."
--Library Journal

"A trip to Glorious, Arizona, in Jeff Guinn's new western novel is like a cool draft beer after a long, hot day on a dusty trail. Glorious is old-fashioned in the very best way: It's good-hearted, optimistic, compelling, comfortable, and extremely well-told. It's wonderful when an author clearly has affection for his characters, and readers will feel the same way."
-- C. J. Box, New York Timesbestselling author of The Highway and Stone Cold

"If, like me, you've been waiting for the next Louis L'Amour or Zane Grey, the good news is his name is Jeff Guinn. His newest novel, Glorious, has all the elements of a fabulous western: compelling characters, breath-taking scenery, and something more--an unblinking take on the western frontier."
--Craig Johnson, New York Timesbestselling author of the Walt Longmire mysteries, the basis of A&E's hit series Longmire
