About the Book

Gunfire shatters a peaceful September afternoon in the small Iowa town of Apology as a drunken Durham Petler pursues his rooster down Main Street, blasting away at the bird with a pistol as the residents dive for cover. The Petler brothers live in a ramshackle cluster of buildings just outside the city limits, immune from legal recourse by the town. The brothers are deadly shots, and earn their living by shooting competitively at matches around the state, but disturb the peace by practicing at all hours of the day and night. When a survey crew discovers that their property is actually within the town, the town father's attempt to force the brothers to abide by the town laws, including restrictions on firearms discharge. After a series of compromises involving the brothers and Sheriff Everett Hiram, the problem appears to be resolved, until Mayor Owen Fuller is shot while trying to disarm DurhamAn odd parade of characters awaits the reader in A Shot Heard 'Round.
