Has anyone heard of a Zane Grey novel called "The Dude Cowboy?"?

Not "The Dude Rancher," which is another one of his titles. A book specialist told me that a book by the name of "The Dude Cowboy" was inaccurately credited to Zane Grey in the 30's or 40's, then taken off market, but I simply can't find any other information about it. My grandfather remembers the title and synopsis from his teenage years and swears it was by Zane Grey, and I would love to find it for him (regardless of author). A quick synopsis: a rodeo cowboy finds himself in over his head when he gets work on a ranch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!|||Well, i've never read it, but I've heard of it and one of my really close friends said that it was really good. At least I think that's what she read.... It was something like that... It was a long time ago, and she said that the book was really, really old....|||Here are some possibles.





The Dude

This title is the script for a motion picture; it's hard to tell if it ever was published as a book.

Juvenile title.
