Deaths-Men

As a middle-aged man, Luke Spanton had semi-retired to a small town ineastern Utah. Ballard was defi nitely a small town and thats just the way Lukeliked it. He had taken a part-time job selling irrigation equipment for a localFarmers Equipment Supply Store. It was a hot Friday afternoon and just afterpassing through Blanding on his way home, empty handed, his cell phone rang. It was his boss and he was pissed. Luke had failed to close a deal on a largesale of irrigation equipment and his boss was in no mood to hear excuses. As Luke crested the ridge north of Blanding, thankfully for him, he lost cellphone reception. What a wasted day he thought, as he drove on in the heat. Allwas fi nally silent, at least until Monday or so he thought. Luke had no idea thathe was about to witness an assassination and that for the next few weeks hislife would become the biggest nightmare he could ever imagine.
