Publisher's Synopsis
In the backwoods town of Carthage, there isnt much 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 Roberts death. Although it appears at first glance that the handsome young man killed himself, Warren and the police are smart enough to realise that suicide victims seldom shoot twice. That night, a drunk woman calls Warrens house, offering a motive for the crime he didnt commit. Roberts was sleeping with Warrens wife and he wasnt her only lover. Warren didnt kill Roberts but, as the rumours begin to swirl, he may wish that he had. In a town where every man is a crack shot, shooting a rival isnt murder. Its target practice.
