    Parker has a new book out - Jun 08 - that is a change from his Stone and Spenser novels. Could this be the start of a new western series?

    In "Resolution" he continues his western series from where "Appaloosa" left off. Library Journal states "Parker's wrting is a pure pleasure to read -- terse and strong, it carries a good story and lays its messages between the lines. A fast and fun read. The film version of "Appaloosa" starring Ed Harris, Viggo Martensen, and Renee Zellweger is set to be released [later in 08]."

    Kirkus Reviews note "Parker focuses on what he does best—ritualistically clipped dialogue and manly posturing—and serves up a reminder of just how much hardboiled fiction owes the Western."

    Publisher's Weekly claims "Parker applies his customary vigor to this sequel to Appaloosa (2005), in a sparse, bullet-riddled rumination on law and order, friendship and honor. . . Parker's dialogue is snappy and his not-a-word-wasted scenes suit this Spartan western."
