In the hay loft of a barn in an authentic old west ghost town, Nick Caden uncovers the body of Billy the Kid ... and other deadly secrets!
It's all just for show...right? Nothing more than Hollywood theatrics? "This is an authentic old west ghost town," the sheriff tells Nick. "Around these parts the dead don't stay dead."
But Nick Caden's vacation becomes a living nightmare when this this "living" ghost town in Deadwood takes a deadly turn toward trouble. Soon Nick finds himself trapped in a stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James. The shooter whirls, aims and... vanishes. Great theatrics, Nick thinks. Except now he's alone in the hayloft with the bullet-riddled body of Billy the Kid which (and this is where things really get crazy-scary) DISAPPEARS.
Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase---from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch. Around every turn he finds another suspect. Will Nick solve the murder before his family leaves Deadwood? Or will the town's desperate need for tourist income bury the haunting truth -- that something evil lives in this Old West Ghost Town?
