Revolver post 2


In Revolver, Sig is the main character. He is intrigued by the Colt revolver his dad gave him for his birthday one year, his dad is obsessed with it, he says that it is the most beautiful thing in the world, and that it is the perfect machine. He always loved his dad. One day a man named Wolff showed up and demanded the gold that he says Sig’s father Einar stole from him, Sig doesn’t know about this gold. Wolff tells Sig the story of how he found gold and wanted to get it checked for purity by Einar, he discovered it was only 10% pure gold, so he made a deal with Einar and wanted half of Einar’s gold, Einar didn’t have any. Einar poisoned Wolff and stole his gold and ran away with it, Sig is discovering these secrets he never knew about his father and is trying to figure out what kind of man he was. All Wolff wants is the gold, he will stop at nothing to find it and take what is his, he kidnaps Sig and Anna inside their own home and they have to tell him where the gold is or else Wolff will kill them. Sig’s only hope is his revolver, but he has to find a way to get to it. The phrase “even the dead tell stories” shows up multiple times in the book, and this is used in the story as Wolff is telling the story of Einar and him which Sig would have never known if his father hadn’t died.
