Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In the backwoods town of Carthage, there isnât much for the leading citizens to do but drink, sleep, and shoot. John Warren is preparing for an early morning duck hunt when he hears two shotgun blasts. Only later does he learn they were the sound of Dan Robertsâs death. Although it appears at first glance that the handsome young man killed himself, Warren and the police are smart enough to realize that suicide victims seldom shoot twice.
That night, a drunk woman calls Warrenâs house, offering a motive for the crime he didnât commit. Roberts was sleeping with Warrenâs wifeâand he wasnât her only lover. Warren didnât kill Roberts, but as the rumors begin to swirl, he may wish that he had. In a town where every man is a crack shot, shooting a rival isnât murder. Itâs target practice.
