Bookroo's summary

Ned's single shot at a shadow in the moonlight spirals into a haunting mystery. A face in the attic window witnesses his act, and a one-eyed cat appears, binding him in guilt and fear. As spring arrives, Ned must confront his actions, seeking redemption and uncovering surprising truths. What secrets will the night reveal?

From the publisher

A Single Shot Ned fired the forbidden rifle just once, at a flickering shadow in the autumn moonlight. But someone – a face, fleetingly seen staring at him from an attic window – was watching. And when a one-eyed cat turns up at an elderly neighbor’s woodshed, Ned is caught in a web of guilt, fear, and shame that he cannot escape – until another moonlit night, come spring, brings redemption and surprising revelations.
