Flashpoint: Echoes of Hamlet Set in the American Gun Industry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798352556450)

A brilliant, mercurial graduate student returns home from Yale full of disturbing questions...How is it possible that his father was accidentally shot and killed on a hunting trip -- with expert hunters? Why is his mother planning to marry so soon after the funeral -- and why is she marrying her husband's brother, his uncle, who had lifelong disputes with his father? And when the uncle's daughter, an acclaimed young soprano comes home to sing at the wedding, why are there hidden tensions between them? What are the strange references in the father's papers that suggest deeper mysteries and conflicts in the family? And when the uncle takes over the family business, American Firearms, why do his elusive comments suggest he may have been involved in the hunting trip? As Hal aggressively probes for answers, he triggers a crisis with life-and-death consequences.
