About the Book

The widely acclaimed author of Code of the West and The Cowboy with the Tiffany Gun, Aaron Latham pens some of today's most entertaining fiction. This rollicking novel follows aspiring Hollywood screenwriter Chick Goodnight--descendant of the legendary cowboy Jimmy Goodnight--as he strives to make his mark in a world that seems completely alien to his down-home sensibilities.

Chick comes to Hollywood to write the script for a film about his great-great-great-grandfather Jimmy Goodnight--a bona fide original Texan cowboy of the 1870s. A quick study, Chick is taken under the wing of the film's director, Jamie, who finds this newcomer's quaint mores mildly amusing if not charming. But just as Chick is becoming acclimated to the glitzy and jaded Hollywood scene, the murder of an up-and-coming actress breaks his concentration. The victim is none other than his own cousin. Now he'll have to pull a page from his own script if he's any chance of finding out whodunit.

Review :

"Riding with John Wayne is extraordinary entertainment. I read it in one sitting. The characters are rich. The story is compelling--and accurate. This novel describes the drama behind the making of a movie in exquisite detail."

-- "David Brown, producer of A Few Good Men and Angela's Ashes "

"A series of murders, a Hollywood set transported to West Texas, and a smart, sexy cowboy hero --I can't think of a better combination of elements for a killer read. Aaron Latham is back in the saddle in winning style in Riding with John Wayne. His insider knowledge of the movie business and big cowboy heart give us a witty, fast-paced, mysterious ride through the very wild west that he knows so well.

-- "Linda Fairstein, author of Death Dance "

"Aaron Latham's page-turning novel, Riding with John Wayne, is at once a love story, a murder mystery, and a funny exposé of the movie business in Hollywood and on location in West Texas. And it's populated with odd-ball characters who add spice to the mix."

-- "Larry L. King, author of In Search of Willie Morris "

"Hollywood and the Old West collide hilariously in this lively tale of cinematic skullduggery."

-- "Peter Bart, editor in chief of Variety "
