Publisher Marketing: When Ed Morgan got word that his younger brother, Ben, had been released from prison, he set out to see him immediately, hoping for reconciliation between them. Instead he found his brother near death, with one final request. He made Ed swear to recover fifty thousand dollars that Ben had buried before he was captured and sent to prison. He even drew a crude map to help Ed find the money. But that much money never comes without trouble, as Ed soon found out. At least six other people felt they had a right to that money, too. And they weren t about to give it up without a fight." Review Citations:
