Summary

Gold, gunfire, and horseplay make for a dangerous and exciting mix for Jane, a newcomer to frontier Montana. The neglect of her parents gets her nicknamed “Calamity”, but her fearless nature and skill at the gambling table makes her the toast of the town.

At the same time, robbery and murder escalate, resulting in the loss of a friend - and Jane knows who leads the gang. But can she rally the town and bring the killers to justice?

Praise:

"The details of life in the 1860s Montana mining town are rich, and the quick-moving tale is well-situated in the tradition of 20th century frontier town novels, such as Jack Schaefer's Shane." (Kirkus Reviews)
