The Cowboy with the Tiffany Gun by Aaron Latham
Inspired by Sir Perceval's quest for the Holy Grail, this is a classic adventure story set in the American West at the turn of the 19th Century. Loving - one of the heroes of CODE OF THE WEST is close to death - and when Percy York Goodnight 'Pyg' accompanies his mother to his bedside he discovers that the legendary axe which had been embedded in the gravestone of his presumed father, Jimmy Goodnight, has disappeared - together with the tombstone. Pyg vows to recover the axe, but before he can locate it he has to face trials and calamities on a biblical scale: flood, fire, gunfights, and the devastating pestilence that changed the course of frontier history.
