Deathwatch

***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.*** "***An exciting novel of suspense,*** based on a fight to the finish between an honest and courageous young man and a cynical business tycoon who believes that anything can be had for a price."***--Horn Book.*** ***An ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults, Edgar Allan Poe Mystery Writers Award, A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year, New York Public Library--Books for the Teen Age.***
