In Dead Man's Alley

Deedra Masefield, a tough reporter with a romantic heart and a knack for finding trouble along with the story, is asked by the local sheriff to help in the investigation of a murder. The killing took place at North Ledge, a ghost town, but a ghost town with a new life. Important fossil remains have been discovered and the old town is now the site of a busy archaeological dig. The team of scientists, artists, and writers managing the dig are suddenly the target of a clever murderer. Is the killer's motivation personal or does it have something to do with the scientists' discovery? Deedra must rely on her reporter's instincts and survival skills as she stalks the killer through the rugged terrain.
