Gladys Fleming, on the other hand, had reservations. Colonel Jefferson Davis Rand, better known simply as Jeff, a private detective and a gun collector himself, was hired to classify, appraise, and negotiate the sale of her late husband's collection.



A number of people had expressed interest in the collection. The question was if somebody had a strong enough desire to assassinate Fleming. And, if that was the case, how had he done it? This is a fast-paced mystery set against the fascinating backdrop of vintage guns and gun collection.



Even if you don't know the difference between a cased pair of Paterson.34's and a Texas.40 with a ramming-lever, this narrative will have your nerves on pins and needles.
