The authorities need help, and the agent in charge reluctantly approaches former FBI agent Lucas

Page, who retired and became a university professor and best-selling author. When

Page worked for the FBI, he was in an accident that almost killed him. He left and rebuilt his life. Now he wants nothing to do with his former career. His skills are essential for this case, because he can read a crime scene and see the geometric trajectories in his head, allowing him to quickly trace back to the location of the sniper. Although Page doesn’t want to assist in the investigation, he realizes that he has no choice when he learns the victim was his former partner.

The victims begin to pile up, and each time the person is killed by a seemingly impossible shot. It appears that this elusive killer is targeting law enforcement and has better shooting skills than the best the military has to offer. Page will have to dig deep to outwit a ruthless villain who has no qualms about eliminating any threat.

Pobi has written a compelling and baffling thriller that uses the New York City landscape to invoke fear and terror. The story of Lucas Page would be enough for any great novel, but the exceptional crime element adds to the story. Readers will want to follow more adventures featuring Page.
