Blue-Eyed Devil

Blue-Eyed Devil

Law enforcement in Appaloosa had once been Virgil Cole and me. Now there was a chief of police and twelve policemen. Our third day back in town, the chief invited us to the office for a talk.
Â
The new chief is Amos Callico, a tall, fat man in a derby hat, wearing a star on his vest and a big pearl-handled Colt inside his coat. An ambitious man with his eye on the governorshipâ€”and perhaps the presidencyâ€”he wants Cole and Hitch on his side. But they canâ€™t be bought, which upsets him mightily.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
When Callico begins shaking down local merchants for protection money, those who donâ€™t want to play along seek the help of Cole and Hitch. When Cole is forced to fire on the trigger-happy son of politically connected landowner General Horatio Laird, Callico sees his dream begin to crumble. The guns for hire are thorns in the side of the power-hungry chief, and heâ€™ll use any excuse to take them out. There will be a showdownâ€”but whoâ€™ll be left standing?
