Open Season - Summary
In this gripping police procedural set in Brattleboro, Vermont, Detective Joe Gunther investigates a seemingly straightforward case of self-defense that evolves into something far more sinister. When an elderly woman fatally shoots an intruder at her door, Gunther discovers both were jurors in a high-profile murder trial three years earlier. As more former jurors face violent attacks, it becomes clear that someone is systematically targeting them, forcing Gunther to reopen old wounds and confront the possibility that justice may not have been served in the original case.
