Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse Robert Knott pgs. 374
"For years, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch have ridden roughshod over
rabble-rousers and gun hands in troubled towns like Appaloosa,
Resolution, and Brimstone. Now, newly appointed as Territorial
Marshalls, they find themselves traveling by train through the Indian
Territories. Their first marshaling duty starts out as a simple mission
to escort Mexican prisoners to the border, but when the Governor of
Texas, his wife and daughters climb aboard with their bodyguards and
$500,000 in tow, their journey suddenly becomes a lot more complicated." From Amazon.com
This is another great Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch story! Robert Knott has got the dialogue of these two cowboys down pat. Great story, awesome shoot-'em-up scenes, mean bad guys, kidnapping beautiful women for ransom, all the things that you need in a wonderful western story.
