Black Rifle by Alex Davidson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Gun situation in the United Sates can be described as bleak and harrowing. Especially if you consider the absurd amount of guns in the USA (there are more guns than people according to a 2018 study), and so the role of finding one specific gun is exponentially greater. In this book, the fictional tale of an ATF agent who is tasked with finding the gun used in a recent mass shooting. One of the victims is high profile and so, the pressure is even higher on finding both the weapon and the perpetrator. Will she be able to find the gun? Or will the secrets held by the rich and powerful prove strong enough to take everything she loves?
Even though this is a fictional tale, the topic is current and divisive enough that anybody will be able to pick up this book and feel strongly about it. The lead character was well developed and dealt with the issues in a rational manner, until the threats started to hit closer to home. I enjoyed the story.
