Descriere

1910. A cabin north of the Arctic Circle. Fifteen-year-old Sig Andersson is alone. Alone, except for the corpse of his father, who died earlier that day after falling through a weak spot on the ice-covered lake. His sister, Anna, and step-mother, Nadya, have gone to the local town for help.Then comes a knock at the door. It's a man, the flash of a revolver's butt at his hip, and a mean glare in his eyes. Sig has never seen him before but Wolff claims to have unfinished business with his father. As Sig gradually learns the awful truth about Wolff's connection to his father, Sig finds his thoughts drawn to a certain box hidden on a shelf in the storeroom, in which lies his father's prized possession - a revolver. When Anna returns alone, and Wolff begins to close in, Sigs choice is pulled into sharp focus. Should he use the gun, or not?

Recenzii

A gripping thriller
A chilling, atmospheric story that will haunt readers with its descriptions of desolate terrain and Sig's difficult decisions.
Sedgwick lures his readers into deeper thinking while they savor this thrillingly told tale.
An elegant, brilliantly executed tale... This novel of only 167 pages is packed with more excitement and wisdom than many twice its length.
A memorable tale, one that will appeal to fans of Gary Paulsen, Jack London, and even Cormac McCarthy.
REVOLVER crackles with more razor-sharp tension and tightly coiled plotting than books twice its length
The bleak setting and ominous circumstances will draw immediate comparisons to a Jack London tale, but in a more accessible, spare style. Reluctant readers will be riveted by the suspense and the short chapters.
¿one of the finest and best-constructed page turners of the year¿ Tense, succinct, evocative and ingenious, and one to haunt you long after the summer is over¿
An outstanding psychological thriller about the Arctic gold rush
a powerful thriller... Tense, thought-provoking and original.
