Description
On Damon Styles's eighteenth birthday, he is expelled from school. But it's what happens afterwards that changes everything. Now Damon must come up with a plan. It's the only way he can think straight. First, get his firearms licence. Then, see if the Pigman will give him a job - pig hunting will teach Damon what he needs to know. And he'd better get a lock for his wardrobe so his mother won't find what he's hiding. Damon's taking matters into his own hands - but so is the town of Strathven.
