Synopsis
From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Hunter comes a taut, action-packed thriller featuring master sniper Bob Lee Swagger as he protects political hostages in a once-in-a-lifetime standoff.
After his takedown of a dangerous terrorist, Bob Lee Swagger learns that no good deed goes unpunished. Despite the fact that his actions nearly killed him--and did kill the would-be assassin--the U.S. Congress has summoned him to court. A hardheaded anti-gun senator has accused Swagger of reckless endangerment, determined to make an example of him. He must go before the House Judiciary Committee in Boise, Idaho. But what begins as political posturing soon turns deadly when the auditorium where the committee is being held is attacked.
Swagger, the senator, and numerous bystanders and reporters are taken hostage by a group of violent operatives. Soon, the very people who had accused him are depending on him to save their lives. Trapped in the auditorium and still struggling with his injuries, Swagger must rely on his instincts, his shooting skills, and the help of a mysterious rogue sniper on the outside in order to ensure that everyone makes it out alive.
