    About this ebook

    Harlan Steelman owned most of the town of Bear Creek and found his way in and out of every backroom, barroom, and bedroom.
    When his rival from high school, John Watson, returns to Bear Creek with his wife and son to start anew, Harlan vows to ruin John's life and take Kara, his wife, away from him.
    When Harlan is found murdered, John Watson is the likely suspect and is charged with murder.
    What happens next is the trial of the century for the little town of Bear Creek, but it takes a horrible twist at the end.

    Author

    Scott Fields

    Scott was born and raised in La Rue, Ohio, a small village nestled in the farmlands of mid Ohio. It was there that he learned to appreciate small town life and country living. Scott was drafted by the Detroit Tigers back in 1966. He turned down their offer so that he could attend Ohio University to pursue his real dream of becoming a writer. After graduating from Ohio University in 1970 with a degree in English Literature, he entered the field of retail management and for the next 30 years managed many stores in the Detroit, Michigan area. In 1996 with a lifelong dream of being a writer, Scott started writing short stories. Within the next two years, he had four stories published. He soon got the idea that he’d like to try his hand at writing a novel, and in 2003 his first novel, All Those Years Ago, was published. Since then, he has enjoyed seeing 7 more novels published. He and his wife, Deborah, live in Mansfield, Ohio. He is retired now and spends nearly all his free time at the keyboard.
