Itinerant lawmen Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch return in
the
gritty new installment of the New York Times–bestselling
series. Appaloosa, the hometown of Territorial Marshals Virgil Cole
and Everett Hitch, continues to prosper, but with
prosperity
comes a slew of new trouble: carpetbaggers, gamblers,
migrants, peddlers, drifters, thieves, and whores, all
boiling in a cauldron of excess and greed. And there’s a new menace in town: a wealthy, handsome
easterner—and the owner of Appaloosa’s new casino—Boston
Bill Black. Boston Bill is flashy and bigger than life. He’s a
prankster
and a notorious womanizer, and with eight notches on the
handle of his Colt, he’s rumored quick on the draw. When he
finds himself wanted for a series of murders, he quickly
vanishes. Cole and Hitch locate and arrest him, but Boston Bill
escapes once again. Another murder sets the duo on his
trail, eventually taking them back to Appaloosa—where one
woman in particular may, or may not, prove to be the apple
of Boston Bill’s eye.
