Description

"Born and raised in Chicago, Detective John Lynch might just be about to die there too. A pious old woman steps out of the Sacred Heart confessional and is shot through the heart by a sniper with what at first appears to be a miraculous and impossible shot. Colonel Tech Weaver dispatches a team from Langley to put the shooter - and anyone else who gets in the way - in a body bag before a half-century of national secrets are revealed. But soon the sniper strikes again. And Detective Lynch, show more the son of a murdered Chicago cop, finds himself cast into an underworld of political corruption, as he tries to discover the truth about what's really going - before another innocent citizen gets killed"--Page 4 of cover. show less

I don't know...I've.read a lot of thrillers in my time, but I found this a one so much better, so much more enjoyable than most. Maybe it was the dialogue and word choice that rang so true. Maybe it was the author.a reading of his own novel in his gruff, no BS voice. Whatever it was, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
