Dead Silver : A Novel
Author(s): Neil McMahon
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.
Review(s):
“Reading DEAD SILVER is like discovering that the great Raymond Chandler wrote a mystery about Montana. ”
“Imagine the Lone Ranger and Tonto as a pair of witty, profane, shot-and-beer construction workers. . . It’s a terrific read-worldly-wise, scary, and as fast moving as a runaway truck on a steep mountain grade.”
