State Trooper1956

[first lines]

Lt. Rod Blake:
Hello, I'm Rod Blake, chief investigator for the Nevada state troopers. One major crime cause that never ceases to amaze peace officers it's how many people think elimination of another person will solve all their problems. This weighty thought came to me while lying on my back after one such intended victim whose life I was trying to prolong clipped me on the chin. You'll meet him in the company of a pretty widow in a case called, "So Early in the Mourning."
