Night Sights Review

Robert "Bobber" Mulligan walked into a convenience store looking for doughnuts and forgot to duck when the shooting started. Now his nerves are frayed by post-traumatic stress and he has a recurring vision of St. Peter shunning him at Heaven's pearly gate. Moving to Eugene, Oregon, all he wants is to live a quiet life in a quiet neighborhood, but his simple plan is shattered by his neighbor's constant sniping and the gunshot staccato of her barking dog. Returning home after a six-day absence, he finds the dog has disappeared and everyone, including his best friend, Jimmy Dean, believes he's responsible. When Animal Control stops by with a few questions, Jimmy Dean realizes Bobber wasn't on a fishing trip like he'd said. When a detective stops by with a few questions, it's Bobber who realizes that one small lie can have big consequences and that there is more going on in the neighborhood than the disappearance of a barking dog. As crime escalates, the neighborhood seems under attack. The neighbors know that police response times are too slow to catch the criminals, but are at a loss how to prevent more trouble. Only Bobber, who was caught in the crossfire between good guys and bad guys during the robbery, understands that a person must be prepared to defend himself. When his tip causes the arrest of a kidnapper's prostitute-girlfriend, the kidnapper and his brother target Bobber's girlfriend as a replacement and Bobber realizes he not only has to fight for his quiet life, he might have to kill for it.
