M.O. Guest is a police officer working for a small town. He is a shift supervisor and a firearms instructor and believes that the most important job that he does is teach. At home, he is a husband who has reared two marvelous daughters whom he believes are his greatest accomplishment. Sadly, they have moved out of the house. Happily, M.O. Guest's wife of 26 years has not. He gardens and occasionally hunts and fishes poorly and reloads and drinks enormous quantities of coffee.
