A Shot in the Night PDF

 "A Shot in the Night" is a crime/mystery story, often found in graded reader series (like those by Oxford Bookworms or Penguin Readers) and is a common title for works by John Escott.

The specific plot can vary slightly between different editions or authors, but the general elements of a John Escott version typically involve:

  • A Crime in the Night: The story usually begins with a mysterious event occurring under the cover of darkness, most notably a "shot in the night." This often leads to the discovery of a crime, usually a robbery or a murder.
  • The Protagonist/Investigator: There's usually a central character who becomes involved in unraveling the mystery. This might be an ordinary person who witnesses something, a detective, or someone inadvertently caught up in the events.
  • Clues and Suspects: As the story progresses, clues are gradually uncovered, and a small cast of characters become suspects. The narrative focuses on the process of elimination and deduction.
  • Twists and Turns: Like many good short mysteries, "A Shot in the Night" will often feature unexpected developments, red herrings, and revelations that keep the reader guessing until the end. The initial assumptions about the crime or the perpetrator are often proven wrong.
  • The Revelation: The climax involves the protagonist or investigator piecing together all the information, leading to the identification of the true culprit and the motive behind the "shot in the night." The motive is often something simple but compelling, like greed, jealousy, or revenge.

While the exact details of characters and specific incidents will differ, the core of "A Shot in the Night" is a straightforward, suspenseful mystery designed to be accessible to language learners.
