Revolver / Marcus Sedgwick.
Finland, 1910: Fifteen-year-old Sig is shocked to see a hole in the frozen lake outside his family's cabin and to find his father's corpse nearby. Why did Einar steer his dog sled across the lake instead of taking the safer land route? Sig's sister and stepmother go for help, leaving Sig alone with Einar's body in the cabin. Soon after, an armed stranger barges in, demanding a share of Einar's stolen gold from when the two men knew each other during the Alaska Gold Rush.

Excerpt
Revolver
Chapter 1 Wash Day, dusk Even the dead tell stories. Â Â Â Â Sig looked across the cabin to where his father lay, waiting for him to speak, but his father said nothing, because he was dead. Einar Andersson lay on the table, his arms half raised above his head, his legs slightly bent at the knee, frozen in the position in which they'd found him; out on the lake, lying on the ice, with the dogs waiting patiently in harness. Â Â Â Â Einar's skin was gray; patches of frost and ice still clung to his beard and eyebrows despite the warmth of the cabin. It was only a matter of degree. Outside the temperature was plunging as night came on, already twenty below, maybe more. Inside the cabin it was a comfortable few degrees above freezing, and yet Einar's body refused to relax from its death throes. Â Â Â Â Sig stared and stared, in his own way frozen to the chair, waiting for his father to get up, smile again, and start talking. But he didn't. Â Â Â Â They say that dead men tell no tales, but they're wrong. Â Â Â Â Even the dead tell stories. Â Excerpted from Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick. Copyright (c) 2010 by Marcus Sedgwick.
