Sniper
A Boston investigator becomes bait for a madman in this “suspenseful . . . cop vs. military thriller” by a Maine Literary Award finalist (Kirkus Reviews).
When a sniper kills four people on Boston Common, homicide detective Mike Houston and his partner Anne Bouchard are sent to investigate the case. A former US Marine sniper and scout himself, Houston knows in his gut that it’s all too neat, too perfectly executed to be random rage. This was a trained kill—carefully orchestrated chaos and terror. Now Houston wonders what the murderer is aiming to accomplish.
When the next cold-blooded shootings get personal, Houston embarks on a cat-and-mouse game. As the death toll rises, and relying on his own skills with a scope and trigger, he and Blanchard follow a twisted trail to a remote lake in Maine where nothing is as it seems. And where the games are just beginning.
“From its initial horrific crime to its hold-your-breath climax, Sniper is a full-throttle thriller” of vigilante action, explosive family drama, secrets, and revenge (Steve Ulfelder, Edgar-nominated author of the Conway Sax mysteries).
