Dead Silver

After a twenty-year absence Renee Callister is back in Helena, Montana, to bury her estranged father. John Callister was a local pariah believed to have had a hand in his wife''s murder when she was protesting the opening of a controversial silver mine. But the discovery of disturbing photographs and one silver earring in her father''s home is causing Renee to reexamine her stepmother''s death in a shocking new light—and sending her to Hugh Davoren for help.

A California expatriate, Hugh Davoren makes his living under Montana''s Big Sky, working as a carpenter with his Blackfoot pal Madbird—and he''s always there for a friend. But the truth Renee Callister seeks is buried in dark and dangerous places, and Davoren''s going to make some powerful, unforgiving enemies when he digs too deep.
