J.A. Baxter is not who he seems. After high school he takes a new name and makes himself into a high-dollar Texas oil man. But when he accidentally kills his trophy wife in a way that looks like murder, he resumes his original identity and hides in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. When he discovers a family journal full of riddles that lead to a long-lost family treasure marked by an ancient Indian pictograph, he enlists the help of Professor Marshall Garvin, an Anasazi rock-art expert, and Garvin’s niece, Elby. After Garvin accidentally kills a man in hot pursuit of Baxter, a deranged hunter and Wall Street financier with the initials G.O.D. steps in as judge and jury. He renders a verdict that reveals the true treasure: Elby’s dream for redemption that begins with saving the life of G.O.D.

About the Author:

Jeff Posey has a geology degree and worked as a petroleum geologist before he discovered the world of words. Since then, he's been city editor of a metropolitan magazine, fiction editor for a national magazine, and then stumbled on his own ignorance: about business. So he earned an MBA, thinking that would solve everything. It didn’t, of course. But it did give him the ability to see things that had been invisible before, such as how business and money truly work. Now he writes short stories and novels, most of them inspired by his nearly two decades of research and fascination with ancient Southwest cultures (mainly the good ol’ Anasazi) and tied to his favorite area in and around Pagosa Springs, Colorado. You’ll see allusions to the ancient ones in all of his work, which he describes as rather like a huge ongoing meta-novel. To learn more, see JeffPosey.net and/or HotWaterPress.com.
