Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch used to be the sherrif and deputy in Appaloosa. Now, a new sherrif is running the town with his twelve deputies. Cole and Hitch refuse to join his group and begin providing protection for the saloon owners who were being pinched by the sherrif if they wanted help when trouble breaks out. There also appears to be a gunslinger in town who has been hired to kill Cole. First, though, the gun slinger and Hitch and Cole need to head off an Indian war party headed for Appaloosa.
I had heard about Robert J. Parker's western series but I just happened to pick up this book on tape. It turned out to be a very good tale. It may be the second in the series, so I plan to find the first. Unfortunately, this will be the last in the series as Parker died early this year. Luckily, he leaves behind some wonderful characters.
Rating - A
