A SUSPENSE AND ACTION-PACKED MYSTERY WITH A TOUCH OF ROMANCE What happens to a sleepy little mountain town when a bear hunt goes deadly wrong? Bear Creek, Arizona is generally a quiet place to live up in the mountains away from all the big city crime. This is about to change as threats are made, people are being shot at, men are murdered, and someone is staying at the old Ghost Town. Is that “someone” the killer/shooter? Blake Thornton along with his older sister, Reggie, and younger brother, Kirby, own a ranch in Bear Creek. In order to pay for the expansion of their herd, they have started a hunting guide service. Most of these clients/hunters want to hunt bear or mountain lion. The Thornton’s have three men coming for a bear hunt. In order to prepare for them, Blake has decided to check the trail for signs of bear. However, someone starts shooting at him. Were they trying to killing him or scare him? Why? Blake didn’t think he had anyone that angry with him. Upon arrival in Bear Creek, the hunters start to cause problems. Blake soon realizes that they are facing even more troubles with these men. The terms and rules of the hunt are given to the hunters and they agree to abide by them. But before the hunt can even get started, one of the hunters is found dead! Was it murder? Was it one of the other hunters who did it? Why? Dixie Gordon runs one of two local bar and grills. Her husband, Dan, disappeared four years ago when their twin daughters were babies. The divorce proceedings will be final in three weeks. Dixie has just received word that her soon to be ex-husband is coming back to Bear Creek. Is he planning to try to stop the divorce, take the girls or try to get the bar? Why is he coming back now? Dan threatens Dixie. The other bar and grill owner is trying to hurt Dixie’s business, but why? They cater to different customers. Dixie is shot at twice. Is the shooter trying to scare her or kill her? Why? Who? Chip Green is investigating the murders and shootings. As more murders are committed, Chip needs help. Since Blake and Kirby are reserve deputies, Chip activates them when the extra help he has requested from the sheriff’s department doesn’t come. Blake tries to protect Dixie and find the killer. Can he keep Dixie and her girls safe? Can he keep himself safe?

This collection examines how greed should be understood and appraised. Roundly condemned by virtually all religions, greed receives mixed appraisals in the domains of business and economics. The volume examines these mixed appraisals and how they fare in light of their implications for greed in our everyday world. Greed in children is uniformly criticized by parents, other adults, and even children’s peers. However, in adulthood, greed is commended by some as essential to profit-seeking in business and for offering the greatest promise in promoting economic prosperity for everyone. Those who advocate a more permissive position on greed in the adult world typically concede that some constraints on greed are needed. However, the supporting literature offers little analysis of what greed is (as distinct from, for example, the effort to meet modest needs, or the pursuit of ordinary self-interested ends). It offers little clarification of what sorts of constraints on greed are needed. Nor is careful attention given to difficulties children might have in making a transition without moral loss from regarding greed as inappropriate to its later qualified acceptance. Through a secular approach, this book attempts to make significant inroads in remedying these shortcomings.
