Appaloosa
Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole are lawmen and friends who share the brutal hardships of an emerging West. But the courage that has defined them is challenged by a man without conscience or remorse. Now, Hitch and Cole have followed him to the small town of Appaloosa.
What follows is a dance of wills where villains are cast in shades of grey, where heroes hide in the blackest shadows, where women can betray with frightening ease, and where Hitch and Cole will discover the price of responsibility, honor, and loyalty in the Old West.

What people are saying
I run The Five-Two weekly poetry site. Tweeting less. Tooting and everything else as usual. "Email me."
Anyone know if there will be further continuations of Robert B. Parker's Western series Virgil Cole & Everett Hitch? The first in the series, Appaloosa, was adapted for film by Ed Harris and Robert Knott, which landed Knott the continuation job.
I make figure drawings and talk incessantly about minutiae related to the Old West and Western films. https://t.co/2Sw9OBuoef
@Mongo4570 @wildwestxtra I'd also recommend the novel by Jack Schaefer (author of Shane), which is pretty different from both films. Robert B. Parker (author of Appaloosa) was a writer on the Selleck film & he claimed it was going to stick closer to the novel, but it was just a remake of the 70s film.
Praise for this book
"Dryly amusing...a conclusion that had to make Parker smile as much as his readers will."--Los Angles Times
"[Parker] takes total command of the genre, telling a galloping tale...[a] classic western... magnificent. As always, the writing is bone clean. One of Parker's finest."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"For...readers with a hankering for the Wild West, including a high-noon shootout and all the accoutrements."--USA Today
"Beneath the trappings of this gunfighter novel, Parker really has something to say about the nature of men and women in the Old West. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
"As always, [Parker] is a master...his plot gallops to a perfect, almost mythical ending. Like a great gunfighter, Parker makes it look easy."--St. Petersburg Times
"If Spenser and Hawk had been around when the West was wild, they'd have talked like Cole and Hitch. Wonderful stuff: notch 51 for Parker."--Kirkus Reviews
