Synopsis
A tense, psychological drama set in the snowy wilderness of the Arctic Circle, where a boy confronts a stranger come to take revenge on his dead father.
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, his thoughts are 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, Sig's choice is pulled into sharp focus. Should he use the gun, or not?
Reviews
'One of my top recommendations for boys of 10+ this year'
Amanda Craig, THE TIMES on Revolver
'A punchily written, first-rate action story'
Toby Clements, DAILY TELEGRAPH on Revolver
'REVOLVER crackles with more razor-sharp tension and tightly coiled plotting than books twice its length'
Sally Morris, DAILY MAIL on Revolver
'A very fine achievement. A book that will stand the test of time as surely as one of the late stories of Tolstoy'
Michael Thorn, ACHUKA on Revolver
