"My name is John Matthew. It is rather ironic that I have a biblical first and last name. After you have heard my story, you will understand why...How did it come to this? I am sitting with a gun in my hand about to murder someone I never met..." Howard Sprague writes of love, death, and turmoil in one of the most turbulent eras of change in contemporary American history. His story embraces adventures that belonged to a time when intrigue was entirely personal.
