In the predawn darkness of April 1,traffic was sparse on the four-lane US-89, known locally as the Mountain Road on Davis County's east side. For the clerk of an isolated all-night service station and convenience store, the graveyard shift had been long and tedious. But a lone male shopper, wearing a light-colored hoodie, who seemed to be taking an unusual amount of time selecting merchandise, made him more than a little uneasy. Suddenly the young, dark-complexioned customer thrust a gun in the clerk's face and demanded all the cash. It was the would-be bandit's first robbery attempt. Before he could escape with the money, other customers were entering. One customer--an unarmed reserve officer--yelled at him. The clerk produced a weapon. After an exchange of gunfire, the clerk and three customers lay wounded, dead or dying. Close to four miles to the south, a young deputy sheriff, Kory Hovac, sitting drowsily in his car--facing the highway--was alerted by the sheriff's dispatcher and given a vague description of the shooter. Adrenalin, now coursing through his system, fully alerted him. As he drove quickly forward, the beam of his bright headlights illuminated a face in the window of a passing car that caught his attention. After a furious short chase ending in a crash into a freeway bridge pillar, the occupants were captured. Kory had a hard time believing that he, a deputy with less than two years of experience, had actually caught the shooter and his partner in Utah's "crime of the decade." Had he? Really? Would concrete evidence support everyone's assumptions? He had to be sure

High Desert

A Western Duo

By: Wayne D. Overholser

In the title story, Murdo Morgan left Paradise Valley sixteen years ago, after his brothers had been killed at the hand of the Turkey Track outfit. One year later, his father died a broken and defeated man. Broad Clancy, owner of the Turkey Track, has remained the controlling force in this area of high desert in Oregon, considering all the land to be open range, including the six-mile strip on both sides of the old wagon road which belongs to Cascade and Paradise Land Company. He fears that Morgan will return to exact his revenge for the death of his brothers. But Morgan is not driven by revenge but by a desire to carry out the dream of his father—to settle a thousand farming families in Paradise Valley. To that end, as the owner of the Cascade and Paradise Land Company, Morgan arrives with a plan for the sale of the land already under way and he is willing to risk his life and every cent of money he has to do it, despite the backlash he will receive from the Clancy dynasty. In “The Fence,” an Oregon sheriff must race against time to capture the men responsible for brutally murdering the father and grandfather of his former fiancée—before she becomes the next victim.

Ambush at Piñon Canyon

By: Wayne M. Hoy

Barely twenty-one, Wyoming McCord has already killed several men. He chalks it up to being a poor, grub-line riding cow puncher who got himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting himself in trouble by being caught up in other people's business. McCord has been making his own way since his mother died, going from one grubstake to another. With nothing of his own but his horse and tack and the gun he wears low down on his right hip, McCord is heading to Arizona to get a start with a clean slate. He plans to find a job and stay put. But a stop in Santa Fe might just put a hitch in his plans. A chance encounter with a bewitching girl leaves him longing for a future rather than planning an escape. Annabelle Dixon is immediately attracted to the charming cowboy, but how can she hold with the constant presence of that big gun on his hip and all that it implies? And what chance does McCord have of winning the heart of a girl who believes him capable of murder?

Amidst the turmoil stirred by anti-war protests and race riots of the late 1960's, a few citizens desperately believe that the criminal justice system needs their help. Their brutal and clandestine operations are carried out under the guarded auspices of a loosely functioning band discreetly calling itself The Committee. Sick of seeing violent criminals escape proper punishment, often based on legal "technicalities" and soft treatment by lenient judges, The Committee makes it their business to set things right.

The Jackson Contract

The Jackson Contract

By: Wayne Overson

This is a love story. Sarah Fanks and George Padley were known as the “Sweethearts of the Martin Handcart Company.” Their story is one of dedication to principle. President James E. Faust, said it well: “In the heroic effort of the handcart pioneers, we learn a great truth. All must pass through a refiner's fire, and the insignificant and unimportant in our lives can melt away like dross and make our faith bright, intact, and strong. There seems to be a full measure of anguish, sorrow, and often heartbreak for everyone, including those who earnestly seek to do right and be faithful. Yet this is part of the purging to become acquainted with God.” Whenever the Handcart Pioneers' story is told, the efforts of Sarah and George-to “do right and be faithful” will be remembered as part of the saga of the Handcart Pioneers.
