Now Kelly has received a letter from a former lover who operates an escort service in the new mining camp of Deadwood in Dakota Territory‚ saying three young women have been murdered. Cole knows it’s a dangerous assignment — Deadwood was recently the scene of Wild Bill Hickok’s murder‚ and Calamity Jane and Doc Holliday will be among the suspects.
