Appaloosa / Robert B. Parker / 276 pages / November Challenge Deceased Author

Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch are town tamers.  They move from town to town in the 1800's West, establishing law and order, and ridding the towns of their undesirable characters.  Hitch is well-read, level-headed, and demurs to Cole's lead.  Cole is amazingly fast on the draw, fearless, a might crazy, and caught up with the evil widow, Allison French.  "Cole gets fractious when he's annoyed."  Cole and Hitch arrest a renegade rancher, Randall Bragg, who with his gang, have committed a slew of lawlessness, including murder of a local sheriff and deputy.  The notorious Shelton Brothers have come to town to assure that justice is not served.  This should appeal to readers drawn to tales of the Old West.


"Keeping quiet never caused me no trouble."
