Book Excerpt for the Day


    “Hey, if we stay up here you need to give me one of your knives.  I could take care of the next stray hiker.  You got that first guy clean, though, I’ll give you that .  (…)  By the time anyone stumbles over him, there’ll be nothing left but bones and a wallet.”

    Jacobson shrugged.  “The boss didn’t want anyone dead, but hey, there he was, staring at us, and you could see he was going to talk to the first ranger he saw.  What could I do?”

    “That was good of you to leave his wallet so they’d be able to identify him.”

    “”Yeah, I’ve got the milk of human kindness running in my veins.”
