About this audiobook
The plan is so complex, the target so well protected that the three snipers have to rehearse the killing in the seclusion of the Arizona desert. Cole Howard of the FBI knows he has only days to prevent the audacious assassination. But he doesn’t know who the target is or where the crack marksmen will strike.
Former SAS sergeant Mike Cramer is also on the trail, infiltrating the Irish community in New York as he tracks down Mary Hennessy, the ruthless killer who tore his life apart. Unless Cramer and Howard agree to cooperate, the world will witness the most spectacular terrorist coup of all time...

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narrator is awful. Why use a brit for American voices/speech? I only continued to listen because it was a good story. However, the storyline was completely over the top at the end. Why do so many writers think their readers are stupid? And the poor FBI was riddled with inept keystone cops.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Truly the worst reader I have ever had to wade through - “Tuckson” for Tucson? That a narrator would not check something that basic is ridiculously amateur. Only stayed because I enjoy Leathers writing but even that could only carry it to a point since the cliched FBI and women descriptions is lazy writing. Bit disappointing compared to Leather’s other works.
