Resolution - (Cole and Hitch Novel) by Robert B Parker (Paperback)

About the Book

The "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Appaloosa" presents a powerful tale of the Old West, in this richly imagined work of historical fiction.

Book Synopsis

In the wild and untamed West, two honorable gunfighters find themselves caught in a gritty battle that threatens the peaceful town of Resolution.

After relocating to an Old-West saloon town after the bloody confrontation in Appaloosa, Everett Hitch is relieved by the arrival of his friend, Virgil Cole. In a place where law and order don't exist, Hitch and Cole find themselves at the center of a make-shift war against Eamon O'Malley, a greedy mine owner, and his men who threaten to gobble up Resolution's land and businesses.

Guided by their sense of duty, honor, and friendship, Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole fight to defend a coalition of local ranchers and challenge the violently shifting laws of the West.
