The Long Shot

Book 1 of Sniper's Chessboard

He thought his war was over. The fight has only just begun.
Wylie Samuel Smith walked away from the battlefield carrying ghosts he can’t shake and skills he can’t forget. All he wants is quiet—long days at the range, a job that keeps him out of trouble, and enough distance from his past to let him breathe.
But when a violent undercurrent surges through the city streets, Wylie finds himself pulled back into a war no one is officially fighting. Local police are outgunned, gangs rule whole blocks, and an old comrade drags Wylie into the shadows where the rules don’t apply.
Now the choice is clear: stay silent and watch innocent people fall… or take the shot that only he can make.
The Long Shot launches the Sniper Chessboard series, a gritty, action-packed saga of precision, loyalty, and survival. Perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Stephen Hunter, and Mark Greaney.
