Plot

Once, Appaloosa town law was Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch. Now it's Amos Callico, a power-hungry man who could use Cole and Hitch on his side. This time Cole and Hitch are not for hire, which makes Callico a very vengeful man. But threatening Cole and Hitch ignites something just as dangerous.

Critical reception

Blue-Eyed Devil received a starred review from Booklist. Publishers Weekly referred to it as an "excellent posthumous western" that is "lean, fast, and full of snappy dialogue". According to Kirkus Reviews, the novel contains "more shifting allegiances, moral dilemmas and characters capable of change than Virgil and Everett's fans may be used to. It's a shame that this youngest of the late Parker's franchises has to end so soon."
