Robert B. Parker's Blackjack by Robert Knott

Robert B. Parker's Blackjack by Robert Knott

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.

Parker wrote seventy books, including the renowned Spenser detective series, Chief Jesse Stone novels, and the famed Virgil Cole/Everett Hitch westerns, as well as the Sunny Randall novels. He died in January 2010, after winning the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and being long regarded as the undisputed dean of American mystery fiction. Robert Knott is a writer, producer, and actor. Among his many theater, television, and picture credits is the feature film Appaloosa, based on the Robert B. Parker novel. Parker adapted and produced the film alongside actor and producer Ed Harris. It's his debut novel, and it's a good one.
