About Robert B. Parker's Bull River
Product Description THE NEW COLE AND HITCH NOVEL—"ADD [THEM] TO ALL THE GREAT CHARACTERS THAT ROBERT. B. PARKER CREATED."—BookReporter.com A bank robbery in San Cristóbal is yielding its fair share of surprises for Territorial Marshal Virgil Cole and Deputy Everett Hitch. It also draws the duo into a mystery involving the bank president himself, the daughter of St. Louis’s most prominent millionaire, and a notorious desperado who holds the key to unlocking a family secret that raises revenge to a whole new level. Review Praise for Robert B. Parker’s Bull River “A twisting, turning ride…and a welcome second edition to the return of these delightful western characters.”— The Oklahoman “Straddles that boundary between the whodunit and the gunslingers. The result is one that should be particularly satisfying to fans of both genres.”—Bookreporter.com “Clever detective work and considerable shooting. It reads lightning fast...Suspenseful.” — Booklist “Provides fans exactly what they’re looking for.”— Kirkus Reviews And for the Cole and Hitch Novels “Hits with the intensity of an eight-gauge shotgun blast.”— Tulsa World "Robert Knott…has penned the next great saga. Parker fans are going to love it!"—Ed Harris, Academy Award-nominated actor “Hitch and Cole, reminiscent of the steely eyed, soft-spoken lawmen Randolph Scott played in the movies, speak volumes to one another with a few words and a nod of the head.”—The Associated Press “Add Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch to all the great characters that Robert B. Parker created over the decades to give us enjoyment and entertainment.”—BookReporter.com “A page-turner of the first order, and updated western that feels as fresh as anything out there….Virgil Cole never misses, not when it matters. Parker didn’t either.”— The Boston Globe About the Author Robert B.

Virgil was on his chestnut stud, Cortez, and I was riding Tornado, a big black gelding with a white lightning bolt–blazed face I’d won in a game of faro near Odessa. When we got to the gated entrance, two sentries tried to stop us, but Virgil flashed his badge and we passed on through. The setting sun flickered behind tall pecan trees as we galloped up the drive to the mansion. At the door, a butler met us, and we entered the stately manor just as the huge grandfather clock in the lobby sounded off six echoing chimes. Virgil’s bone-handled Colt was on his hip, and I carried my double-barrel eight-gauge. “I’ll have to ask you for your weapons, gentleman,” the butler said. “No,” the governor said, entering the lobby. “Evening, Governor,” Virgil said. “These men are allowed to carry their guns wherever and whenever they please!” Then I saw her, Emma, coming down the huge stairs, wearing a pale yellow dress. She smiled at me. “Everett,” Emma said. “So nice to see you again.” “What about me?” Virgil said. “Oh, silly me,” Emma said. “Of course it’s wonderful to see the both of you.” * At dinner, the governor stood and raised his glass. “A toast!
