Description

Bullets and buckshot fly in this New York Times bestselling Cole and Hitch novel from Robert B. Parker.

Newly appointed as Territorial Marshals, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch are traveling by train on a mission to escort Mexican prisoners to the border. But when the Governor of Texas climbs aboard with his wife, daughters, and $500,000 in tow, the journey becomes a lot more complicated. An old enemy—still carrying plenty of scars from the last time he saw Virgil—has hitched a ride. He’s not alone. And he’s got vengeance on his mind.

    Very long and detailed, but great read. Not quite Robert B. but a really good Virgil and Everett tale. Keep the legend rolling, but shorten up some on the blah, blah.
  • Classic Western

    Gritty, fast-paced and leaves you wanting more...all the ear marks of a great story, but when you add vivid writing that makes you feel grungy and as if you are actually smelling the drift of gun powder, you have an awesome read of a bygone error!

    I have treasured every one of Robert Parker's books and I mourned his death. But he has come back to life through the writing of his proxy. If anything, this guy may have out written Parker, with his deep and colorful expressions and then depth oh his research. I hope there are more Everett and Virgil novels forthcoming.

    Seems like Robert B. is still with us. Hope more movies come out. Books are best but movies are almost as good.

    What can I say? If it is written by Robert B. Parker it has to be good. I feel like I lost a best friend. I first met him while in the hospital and a friend brought me one of his books, I was hooked . After 15 years or so, I have purchased First Editions of every book he has written,but missed out on the western series until I got an IPad and now I just finished all of them. I know very little about computers (and IPads) but I know how to find the new authors carrying on his work. Thanks loads for keeping Robert B. Parker alive. I rate all his works with as many stars as possible.
