In the town of Placid, Wisconsin, in 1871, Georgie Burkhardt is known for two th
ings: her uncanny aim with a rifle and her habit of speaking her mind plainly.
But when Georgie blurts out something she shouldn't, her older sister Agatha fl
ees, running off with a pack of "pigeoners" trailing the passenger pigeon migrat
ion. And when the sheriff returns to town with an unidentifiable body wearing Ag
atha's blue-green ball gown everyone assumes the worst.Except Georgie. Refusing
to believe the facts that are laid down (and coffined) before her, Georgie sets
out on a journey to find her sister. She will track every last clue and shred of
evidence to bring Agatha home. Yet even with resolute determination and her tru
sty Springfield single-shot, Georgie is not prepared for what she faces on the w
estern frontier.
