Title: Deadly Reckoning
Description: In the town that produced Evel Knievel, a plane that attempts to land on a city street is not a surprise, unless the pilot disappears and leaves a dead man in his place. When a Cessna 180 crashes into a miner's cottage in historic uptown Butte, two men flee the plane leaving behind a third who isn't talking. He's dead. Did the victim, a high-profile ex-con, deserve this fate? Just how did he die? And what was he doing in Butte? Chance Dawson and his sister, Mesa, who edits the weekly paper, pursue a bittersweet story that takes them from Montana to Idaho and Utah, where western individualism and retribution collide to reveal a killer.
