Glass Tiger
“There was also a manila folder with two pages of hand-written notes confirming that she had helped Corwin look for the shooter. Thorne went there first.
January 20th. Damon in Des Moines with the campaign for the Iowa caucus. I knew Dad was looking for the man who had shot him, so I said I wanted in. He finally agreed.
As Thorne had surmised, Corwin had dug slugs out of the spruce from the sighting-in of the shooter’s rifle. Then he had found eight spent cartridge cases at the ambush site up on... the hillside that Thorne had uncovered the day before. He took the brass to a hand-loader for analysis and anything distinctive, then canvassed Portage for info on the shooter.
