Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick
Sig's father, Einar, has taught him how to shoot a Colt revolver--according to him, the most beautiful symbol of perfection known to man. Sig never dreams that he'll need it, especially not after he discovers his father's frozen body in the broken ice of a nearby lake. He waits at home with the body while his sister and stepmother get help, but a stranger appears at their cabin door, claiming that Einar has gold that belongs to him. Sig has never known his father to have any gold, and as the stranger tells his tale, Sig discovers that it isn't the only secret his father kept from the family. As Sig is held hostage, he realizes that the only way out is to get Einar's revolver--which is hidden in the cabin's back storeroom. Can he get his hands on it before the stranger shoots his own gun, silencing Sig forever?
