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.
