Answer 1

This is a book about two lives that are separate but intertwined. Michael MacKenzie and and a friend decide to shoot of a rifle on the Fourth of July, the had no idea of the repercussion that it could cause when they did. The bullet that they fired traveled four blocks over and hit a man named Charlie Ward in the head as he was fixing his roof. He had a wife and a daughter named Jenna (another main character). Michael finally realizes that he fired the shot that killed a man. The police are suspecting him. So he decides to bury the rifle in his back yard under a pile of wood. When the police come looking for anyone with guns his father volunteers the information that his son has a gun.   When they ask for it Michael makes up a story that it was stolen from a friends car, thus making his friend an accessary. All this time Jenna is hunting for her fathers killer, she has pictured him as a faceless killer, a cold hearted man, but she finally hears from the town gossip  that the shot came from the MacKenzie house during a party. Soon the police really begin to think that it was Michael who fired the shot and they search the property, and they use metal detectors to try and find the gun, but come up with only a shell casing.
