Part of Michael Bennett, book 16
First published 2024
Detective Michael Bennett confronts a shooter who eliminates targets with military precision across New York City. The killer strikes from impossible positions, leaving no trace behind. Bennett partners with Rob Trilling, a former Army Ranger turned NYPD sniper who knows rifles better than relationships. Trilling brings expert marksmanship skills to the Emergency Services Unit, but his awkward social interactions raise questions. When Bennett notices his new partner disappearing without explanation during duty hours, suspicion takes root. The detective must determine whether Trilling is simply a misunderstood loner who prefers solitude or something far more dangerous. As the precision killings continue, Bennett realizes the answer will determine whether he has found the perfect ally or stands face to face with the very assassin terrorizing the city.
