Appaloosa (Virgil Cole & Everett Hitch, Book 1)

A first printing hardcover in new condition. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked. Boards are square and tight. Dust jacket is clean and unmarked. International buyers are welcome — please visit our AbeBooks storefront. Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker (2005) opens the Virgil Cole & Everett Hitch series — a celebrated departure from Parker's Boston detective fiction into the American Old West. Cole and Hitch ride into Appaloosa to confront Randall Bragg, a renegade rancher who has the town firmly under his thumb. Parker's signature sharp dialogue and moral complexity translate seamlessly to the Western genre, and the novel was adapted into a film in 2008. An excellent read for fans of Parker's other series and Western fiction alike.
