Good Friends Are Hard To Come By Douglas Buckland

Jeb's chance meeting in South Africa with a private intelligence agent means that the possibility of returning to his old ranch in Colorado is now a reality. The days of living in Africa drilling for oil are over.



Back in the States, Jeb opens an automotive restoration and hot rodding shop in the small town near his ranch. One morning, he finds a stunning woman waiting for him at the shop. Rachel wants to take over the business leaving Jeb as a silent partner.



Life will never be the same for either again.



Jeb, and his new 'partner with benefits', become the nucleus of an eclectic group of friends. Each one brings a different skill set to the crew, some are legal, others definitely not!



When one of the crew tangles with an Irish gang from back East, the others know it's time to act. If they don't resolve the issue, their friend and a young woman's life will become nothing but a memory.



An old Basque sheepherder, with mysterious ties to the Cosa Nostra, provides the adult supervision, shrewd intelligence and assets to allow Jeb's crew to outplay the opposition and get everyone's life back on track.



In this case, the ends justify the means.



But the means are somewhat uncivilized and highly illegal.



Hang on for the ride!
