At a children's party . . . Nothing ever happens in a sleepy American town like Middlebrook. Until the shocking events of one hot Saturday afternoon when, at a back-to-school party, nine children sneak off to a barn. And one child is shot by another. In the media storm that sweeps the nation . . . The press are asking questions. About the type of parents who let their children play unsupervised in a house with guns. About how damaged a child must be to commit this kind of atrocity. In the ensuing police investigation . . . Two questions are the most urgent, and the most baffling.
