Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club - Coles, Megan Gail

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Another blizzard is threatening to tear a strip off downtown St. John's, while inside The Hazel restaurant a storm system of sex, betrayal, addiction and hurt is breaking overhead. Iris, a young hostess, is forced to pull a double despite her escalating conflict with the charming chef and his wealthy restaurateur wife. Tables away, server Damian tries to navigate his hangover and a potential punch-up with a pair of loud and lit customers. Meanwhile Olive, a young woman far from her northern home, watches it all unfurl from the fast and frozen street. Through rolling blackouts, we glimpse the truth behind the shroud of scathing lies and unrelenting abuse to find that resilience proves most enduring in the dead of this winter's tale.
