A charming first edition/first printing in Fine condition in alike dust jacket; Owen Gray is a sniper. Not just a sniper. He was America's best with a record-breaking kill in Vietnam - a man who could be hidden motionless for days at a time waiting for the microsecond in which he would take out an enemy with one clean shot at 1300 yards. He did this 96 times. In recognition the Marine Corps renamed its sniper range in his honor. Now Gray just wants to quietly live out his life as an assistant U. S. District attorney in New York where he is raising three adopted children all victims of the war he is trying resolutely to forget - and atone for. He never wants to see a rifle again. But suddenly twenty-five years after Gray placed his Winchester rifle in the Marine Corps museum a sniper is hunting him through the streets of New York City. The sniper's bullets find their mark. But the mark is not Gray. The sniper is challenging him warning him that he will keep on killing until Gray picks up his rifle one more time. Gray falling in love with a woman who is beginning to break through his shell is determined to protect her and his children. Reluctantly caught up once again in a game that both repels and excites him Gray leads his rival into the woods of his native Idaho where the two best-trained killers in the world will shoot it out to the death; 8vo .
