Book Description

July 3, 2003
Brockland Joshua, Brock to his friends, was a retired Infantry Lieutenant Colonel of the United States Army who, through a series of turns, became the manager of a golf and country club in Corpus Christi, Texas, on the last developed barrier reef island in the United States.

In doing his job Brock has become involved with some high powered members of his club who want him to do a little intelligence gathering for them. It seems the OPEC countries and our nation’s oil producing capabilities are on a collision course. He does not realize that this good deed will draw him into a web of intrigue and danger that will involve organized crime on both sides of the Texas border and leave him marked as the killer of these same friends.

As Brock scrambles to prove his innocence, people begin dying around him, including his beautiful blonde lover, wife of the corrupt oil baron he has exposed. He cannot do it alone. So he contacts two old Army buddies and they weigh in. As they plan to clear his name, he is confident that he can do it. While no good deed may go unpunished, Brock intends to hand out a little punishment of his own.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Hal Bray is a new author who writes what he knows. As a retired Infantry Lieutenant Colonel, he shares with us the mind set of men formed by their combat experiences. As one who has managed prestigious private country clubs and dealt with their high powered members who control our nation’s economy and industry, he provides keen insight on the inner workings of politics and money in the oil industry against a backdrop of greed and corruption.

From an idyllic setting to one of chaos and panic he leads us on a rapidly accelerating chase to foil a plan that would ruin the oil industry within the United States and place our fuel destiny in the hands of the OPEC nations. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

About the Author

Hal Bray lives in beautiful Northern California with his wife. His retirement from the United States Army brought him into the sphere of influence of many important people in the oil industry during the 1980's. Their lives and suggestions, along with a vivid imagination inspired this book.

After serving 22 years in the United States Infantry, with multiple tours in Vietnam, Hal used the business degree he earned while on active duty to manage golf and country clubs. From California to Texas he came to the Gulf Coast during the final hey days of oil in the1980's. When the bubble burst there was a lot of recriminations and wondering why and how. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced adventure..., May 11, 2004
This review is from: No Good Deed (Paperback)
Hay Bray knows his stuff. I had no idea the oil business had such a dark side. The book is very well detailed and fast paced. Mr. Bray has the makings of a great new novelist. Can't wait for his next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A new author with a great future, July 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: No Good Deed (Hardcover)
I found this book to be totally engaging. Right from the first page I was drawn to the hero and his problems. It was a peek into the high-life in Texas. The melding of the New York and the Mexican mafias was choice. The action scenes were quick and accurate. The ending was a crescendo and then it was just as I thought it should end. The guy gets the girl, the money, etc., etc. If you are a fan of action and adventure, you don't want to pass this one up.
