(Continuedfi'om front flap) When Virgil Colé and Everett Hitch arrive in Appaloosa, they find a small, dusty town sufFering at the hands of renegade rancher Randall Bragg, a man who has so little regard for the law that he has taken supplies, horses, and women for his own and left the city marshal and one of his deputies for dead. Colé and Hitch, itinerant lawmen, are used to cleaning up after opportunistic thieves, but in Bragg they find an unusually wily adversary- one who raises the stakes by playing not with the rules, but with ernotions. This is Róbert B, Parker at his storytelling best. Róbert B. Parker is the author of nearly fifty books. He lives in Boston. / Vissza
