Title: Deathwatch
Description: ***Madec was not the kind of man Ben would ordinarily have chosen as a companion for a quiet hunting trip.*** The only time Madec ever laughed was when he told some story about how smart he was. He was a cold man who liked to hurt things, and ***he was dangerous with a gun***. But Ben needed money to pay for another semester at college, and so when Madec offered to hire him as a guide to hunt bighorn sheep in the desert mountains, he agreed. ***It was a mistake that very nearly cost Ben his life.***
