To Die in Kanab by author Jack Nelson, is a compelling piece of fiction that takes us to the rugged outback of Southern Utah. When a Hollywood movie investor is killed in the quite town of Kanab; Kane County Sheriff Jared Buck is thrust into a murder investigation that on the surface seems unsolvable.
Not everyone in the quiet town welcomes the idea of a movie about the mysterious 1934 disappearance of Hollywood poet and artist Everett Ruess, and Sheriff Buck finds himself questioning many of the townsfolk as possible suspects in the case. When his local investigation leads to nothing but dead ends, he turns to newpaper reporter Paul Crichlow in San Francisco and the two of them using wit, instincts and pereverance, are able to unveil the truth and bring in the guilty.
A well written story with interesting plot, believable characters and an engaging writing style; To Die in Kanab will suck you in and have you turning pages until the mystery is solved.
