Robert Knott’s writing career centers on the Virgil Cole & Everett Hitch series, a run of Western novels that began with Appaloosa in 2005. The series follows two lawmen through the American frontier, and Knott has kept it going for over two decades with fifteen entries so far. Several of the books carry the “Robert B. Parker’s” prefix, reflecting the series’ connection to Parker’s original characters.
The books span from Appaloosa through titles like Resolution, Brimstone, and Blue-Eyed Devil in the early years, then continue with Ironhorse, Bull River, and The Bridge in the mid-2010s. Later entries include Blackjack, Revelation, and Buckskin, with the most recent, Opium Rose, set for 2027. Readers who enjoy frontier lawman fiction with recurring characters will find a long and consistent series here.
