Bruce Palmer had worked for Moss and McAdams (M&M) for six years and was just promoted to account manager. His first assignment was to lead an audit of Johnsonville Trucks. He was quite pleased with the five accountants who had been assigned to his team, especially Zeke Olds. Olds was an Army vet who returned to school to get a double major in accounting and computer sciences.

Imagine you are on the edge of your seat waiting in desperation for the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show to begin. The lights go dim; the crowd falls silent. You can hear only the rumble of galloping horses. The crowd grows rambunctious as a single spotlight flickers on. Standing in the center of the arena is the one and only Annie Oakley.

I was feeling exhausted, but right then the scent seemed to stir something deep inside
My Dream Home My dream house is very detailed. It would have to be very big. I want it to have many rooms, and a big kitchen.

Chapter One The best assassins aren't the famous ones. John Wilkes Booth was a ham and a showboat who earned that bullet in the burning barn. Lee Harvey Oswald may or may not have killed JFK but he was an idiot when it came to keeping himself alive and free.

You probably wouldn’t want to know them if you were an average
