Story4.5 out of 5 stars 505
When Bob Lee Swagger is approached by a woman who lost a son to war and has spent the years since risking all that she has to find the sniper who pulled the trigger, he knows right away he'll do everything in his power to help her. But what begins as a favor becomes an obsession, and soon Swagger is back in the action, teaming up with the Mossad, the FBI, and local American law enforcement, as he tracks a sniper who is his own equal and attempts to decipher that assassin's ultimate target before it's too late.

It’s not even a clue. It’s a whisper, a trace, a ghost echo, drifting down through the decades via chance connections so fragile that they would disintegrate in the puff of a breath. But it’s enough to get legendary former Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger interested in the events of November 22, 1963, and the third bullet that so decisively ended the life of John F. Kennedy and set the stage for one of the most enduring controversies of our time. Swagger begins his slow night stalk through a much-traveled landscape. But he’s asking questions that few have asked before....

Publisher's Summary
From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Hunter, the latest episode in his Swagger family saga - replete with Hunter's wicked suspense, vivid gun fights, and historical truths.
1934 was a pivotal year in the ongoing battle between the FBI and America's most famous outlaws - it was a year of giant personalities and huge shoot-outs, and it marked the deaths of John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, and Pretty Boy Floyd, among others. But that year, FBI agent Sam Cowley's priority was to nab the most dangerous gangster this country has ever produced, a man so violent he scared Al Capone and was booted from the Chicago mob - Baby Face Nelson. To stop him, Cowley recruited the most talented gunman of the time - Charles Swagger.
When Bob Lee Swagger, now in Idaho, finally sells the land he owned in Arkansas, the developers begin to tear down the old homestead and uncover a steel case hidden in the foundation. The case contains a batch of 1934 memorabilia - a much-corroded FBI badge, a .45 automatic preserved in cosmoline, a gun clip, and a cryptic diagram, all belonging to Charles Swagger. Bob never knew his grandfather Charles, who died before he was he born, and his father Earl refuses to mention him. Fascinated by this new information, Bob is driven to find out what happened to his grandfather, and why his own father, whom he worshipped, never spoke of Charles. But as he investigates further, Bob learns that someone is following him, someone with his own obsession of finding out what Charles Swagger left behind.

A Great Author
There are so many books out there that are very poorly written, so it is surprising to find a book written by an author with real talent, that makes all the difference in the enjoyment of a book. This is only the second book I have read in the Swagger series, and while I enjoyed it. I still enjoy much more the international thriller books of today's world. As the book I read was from audible, I also must give credit to the reader, R.C. Bray who does a terrific job of narration. When you put a great author together with a great narrator, you end up with a very enjoyable book. I would recommend both to anybody.

One of My Favorite BLS Books
Great story line. Love the switch between past & present. Only regret is the final fate of Charles Swagger was never firmly divulged (or it was and I missed it) only speculated.
Alas, Bob is getting old. Don't know how many more adventures he will/can have.

An Incredible use of History!
This author dissects time and date of historic events even using seemingly insignificant details to writes a riveting fictional story to fit perfectly.
I'm from the Chicago area and can not believe how well the author used street locations and travel times as tools in the story.
The narrator adds value with his flat and matter of fact, Joe Friday style delivery.
I can't recommend this book highly enough.

A tour de force. Wow.
I am familiar with Hunter’s work, and have read others in this series, but this is unprecedented. Tying in the history of gangsters in the 30’s, Hunter has introduced Charles Swagger, grandfather of Bob Lee, and woven a brilliantly plausible re-think of the history of that era. His best work so far, and worth every second of your read or listen
