ROBERT B. PARKER’S BUCKSKIN by Robert Knott
First sentence…
An all-day celebration had been taking place.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
The fever has come to Appaloosa. Gold was discovered just north of town on land owned by two groups. A group of business men led by Henry Baptiste own one piece. The other belongs to the McCormick brothers. The McCormicks bought their land from Baptiste before the gold was found. Now Baptiste has regrets, but the McCormicks aren’t selling the land back. Tempers have flared. Both sides brought in gunmen.
First a miner disappeared. Then another was found dead. Now one of the Baptiste’s men has been murdered. So US Marshall Virgil Cole and his Deputy Everette Hitch are called in.
Meanwhile, miles away, a sociopathic escaped convict hooks up with a mysterious woman with grudge. The woman plans to use the psycho as an instrument of retribution. The escaped con and his muse head for Appaloosa.
The citywide Appaloosa Days festival is going to be one to remember.
