A chilling, race-against-the-clock thriller from the international bestselling author

In the jungles of Vietnam, Bob Lee Swagger was known as 'Bob the Nailer' for his high-scoring target rate at killing. Today the master sniper lives in a trailer in the Arkansas mountains, and just wants to be left alone. The mission is top secret. One thing goes wrong: double-crossed Bob has come out alive. Now he is on the run.

Twenty-five years after the end of the Vietnam War, Bob, the Nailer Swagger is back in the warzone. The Russian sniper with whom he duelled in the jungle and who killed his friend, Donny Fenn, has tracked him down to the remote mountains of Idaho. Soon one man is dead and Swagger's family is under threat. Why has the Russian resumed the conflict?
