Murder Without Reservation — Bernie Lee

DEAD ON LOCATION

The cast and crew of Japan's number-one prime-time show were shooting on location in Oregon's magnificent High Country. Tony Pratt, former advertising executive turned successful mystery novelist, was helping with local casting and location scouting near the scenic Short Falls Indian Reservation.

With only three more major sequences left to shoot, the picture looked like a successful wrap. But that was before somebody shot the horse and the drug dealer, before Tony went crashing through white-water rapids to save a terrified boy from drowning, before the runaway grass fire and way before somebody dumped a pair of deadly rattlesnakes in the Pratts' bedroom.

Tony and Pat Pratt had landed themselves right in the middle of another murder mystery... one fueled by greed, passion and revenge. And if that's not enough, somebody didn't want Tony to live to tell the tale.
