From award-winning writer Annie Reed comes the story of a holiday scam gone wrong in all the right ways.
Always on the hunt for a way to make a quick buck, Joe's good buddy Carl thinks this year he's hit on a winner. Most of Carl's schemes don't pan out. This one looks like it just might, and that rubs Joe's conscience the wrong way. The only problem with having a conscienceâ€"it might tell you what's wrong, but it sure doesn't tell you how to fix it.
