Meanness Moon

In the haunted Peregrine Saloon, the subject for the latest episode of her series, BJ Donovan overhears a disturbing conversation. One man tells another man about the recent slaughter of a black bear and how he used its hide as a warm throw for his couch and its claws as jewelry for his wife. They laugh, discuss going into the FURniture business together. Plan to track down the orphaned cubs. Understand they can cut expenses if they trap and skin the bears themselves. Seal the deal with a high-five and a shot of whiskey.



Their coldhearted scheme just plain pisses her off. BJ summons Alma to the Oregon tavern. About to wage war on the two men, something extraordinary happens.
