Appaloosa

This like-new hardcover is near fine, no marks, pages are tight and appear unread, the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Dust cover is unmarked, red cloth boards, and bright gilt lettering on the spine of the book. Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker, published in 2005, is the first novel in the Cole and Hitch series. Set in the Old West, the book is a classic Western tale that blends Parker’s sharp dialogue and moral complexity with the genre's rugged setting and archetypal characters. Appaloosa was praised for its rich character development and Parker’s ability to breathe new life into the Western genre. Fans of Parker’s other works appreciated his take on a different setting while maintaining the themes of morality and human complexity found in his detective novels.
