Deadwood Dead Men

by Bill Markley

Overview

In August 1876, Jack Jones, a reporter for a
Chicago newspaper, is assigned to write
about the doings of Deadwood, Dakota
Territory—an illegal gold camp that
knows no law. The lure of gold in the
Lakota’s Black Hills draws prospectors and
many colorful characters, such as Al
Swearengen, Calamity Jane, Colorado
Charlie Utter, Seth Bullock, Madame
Mustache, and Sol Star, and it also lures
crime. After the shocking murder of an
acquaintance, Jack Jones begins
investigating an entire string of murders
that begins with Wild Bill Hickok and leads
Jack down a treacherous trail that has him
wondering if he won’t be next.
