This is not your typical Bang-Bang shoot 'em up Western! It has all the drama of a shoot-out at the OK Corral, yes; but more than the 'what' you also learn the 'why.' The novel is also a New York Times best seller.

Author Robert B. Parker also writes the extremely popular detective series featuring Spencer, with titles like COLD SERVICE, BAD BUSINESS, HUSH MONEY and WIDOW'S WALK.

From back cover: When Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch arrive in Appaloosa, they find a town suffering at the hands of a renegade rancher who's already left the city marshal and one of his deputies dead. Cole and Hitch are used to cleaning up after scavengers, but this one raises the stakes by playing not with the rules---but with emotion.
