As always, the writing is bone clean. One of Parker's finest."--<b>Publishers Weekly</b> (starred review)</p><p>"For...readers with a hankering for the Wild West, including a high-noon shootout and all the accoutrements."--<b>USA Today</b></p><p>"Beneath the trappings of this gunfighter novel, Parker really has something to say about the nature of men and women in the Old West. Highly recommended."--<b>Library Journal</b></p><p>"As always, [Parker] is a master...his plot gallops to a perfect, almost mythical ending. Like a great gunfighter, Parker makes it look easy."--<b>St. Petersburg Times</b></p><p>"If Spenser and Hawk had been around when the West was wild, they'd have talked like Cole and Hitch. Wonderful stuff: notch 51 for Parker."--<b>Kirkus Reviews</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robert B. Parker was the author of more than fifty books.
