Brad's mother, Karen, wants Jake to find the killer. In the course of his investigation, Jake discovers that in the past eight weeks, 27 people have been murdered in the same manner-a long distance rifle shot from about a hundred yards out with a .308 slug. He also discovers that all the victims were between 37 and 39 years old, and all of them are members of the California High School class of 1998. What's going on?

Then there's the little old lady whose identity has been stolen, and a wealthy widow who's being blackmailed.

Another humorous, cozy by Glenn Rogers.

She can't. The man has been shot and is quite dead. Having been a surgical nurse for thirty years, she knows what death looks like. But what's even worse than finding a dead man on the Happy Trails golf course is that the dead man is Jed Tucker, a Happy Trails resident and a friend.

Is the killer still in the area? There doesn't seem to be anyone around. Harriet heads back over to the walking trail and calls her husband, Harry, a retired detective.

In this brief but enlightening historical overview of capitalistic free enterprise, Dr. Glenn Rogers offers not only clear and concise definitions of capitalism and socialism, but also provides historical and archeological evidence demonstrating that capitalism has been the economic system of choice for most of the world almost from the beginning of human society. It is an unapologetic defense of capitalism in which Rogers discusses the shortcomings of socialism and offers ten reasons why capitalism is a superior economic system. With so many Marxists professors perverting history and redefining both socialism and capitalism in pursuit of their leftist agenda, and so many extremist and power-hungry politicians advocating socialism, Dr. Rogers' factually-based study of the two economic systems is a refreshing and helpful easy-to-understand presentation that will help readers, especially college students, understand the truth about the history and benefits of capitalism.
