Fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly will love C. M. Sutter!

In the heart of Chicago, an ominous ambush unfolds with shots echoing through the city's streets. A chilling siege has been declared on the men and women in blue, and it's up to Jesse McCord and his team of detectives to unearth the sniper's deadly agenda—to eliminate as many police officers as possible.

With every passing minute, the assailant eludes their grasp, leaving behind nothing but death, fear, and uncertainty.
The only way to stop the relentless attack is for Jesse to unmask the faceless killer— even if it means playing a high-stakes game of life and death.

As the investigation unfolds, an unexpected revelation sends shockwaves through the case, revealing a connection that hits closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

Now, Jesse McCord is on a collision course with the sniper, a one-man crusade to safeguard the city he loves and the brave officers who protect it. Chicago's fate hangs in the balance as this gripping thriller hurtles towards its electrifying showdown.

Editorial Review
“Few criminals know how to terrorize a city quite like a sniper on the loose, and C. M. Sutter kicks off her new Detective Jesse McCord Police Thriller series with a sniper who’s targeting Chicago’s police and emergency services. The likable McCord, whom Sutter fans will recognize from an earlier book, is a particularly daring leader in the hunt for the killer, and the tension ramps up steadily as the book approaches its chilling conclusion.” Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing

an excellent tale

This is a quick read that never deviates from the seriousness of the plot. A detective’s dog provides a bit of levity in what is a very grim book. It’s a great read and the ending, while surprising, is perfect.

Ms Sutter has a reputation as a thorough author who paints realistic scenarios for each of her characters. I like Jesse McCord. He has unlimited potential in this series. The storyline was fast paced and compelling. A sniper targeting the police in Chicago is at the heart of the story. If you enjoy a cat and mouse game, you will enjoy yourself.

Realistic! It could happen, and the ending is apropos.
Excellent character development and interaction. I enjoyed the story line, the complexity of the plot and the logic of the conclusion.

Engaging story but drags in parts and ending is anticlimactic

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

3.5 stars…the base of a good story is here but the writing needs sharpening and it needs better editing. The idea is a good one and I felt like the book could have been better and more engaging with crisper writing. There were a couple points where I almost decided to DNF it because it just dragged on. As we moved toward the climax things got more active and engaging but there were also way too many stupid moments that just wouldn’t happen. And for all the buildup the end was anticlimactic. I couldn’t believe that was the way it wrapped up. Did the author just get tired of writing the book? And one major plot point at the end makes no sense. What was the killer’s motivation?

So after putting in the reading time there really wasn’t a payoff. Doubtful I’ll read more in this series.

I’ve read all the Jade Monroe books and lived them all. Wasn’t certain about this new character at first, but it too had me sitting on edge. I did figure out the criminal earlier on, but it was still a thrilling read!

Wow, an interesting turn of events.

This book immediately pulled me into the story. I started it before bed one evening and before I knew it, I was five chapters in. I have a busy schedule, so reading doesn’t come as easy these days, but I finished the entire book, 50+ chapters, in three days. There were so many moments where I felt that we would learn who the Sniper was, but each time, something happened, preventing the identity from being known. However, when I learned of the motivations of the Sniper and who it turned out to be, I realized how obvious this type of scenario turned out to be. However, it didn’t affect my ability to enjoy the story.

I won’t spoil it for viewers. What I will say is to read the book instead of the audio. While the narration was good (I switched between the two) I found that visualizing my own voice for the narrator was better than the audio version I heard.

Realistic vigilante terror

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a fast paced police procedural that alternates a first person narrative by the hero, Detective Jesse McCord, with shorter chapters detailing the actions of the sniper.

The motivation for causing terror doesn’t really matter when someone snaps and begins a killing spree but this story does show what might cause someone to snap and feel justified in killing others. The loss of innocent life from such actions is something that is all too real in recent times.

The difficulty in locating a suspect while killings continue is at the heart of the story. This is an action oriented plot without any in depth characterizations. It is a suspenseful look at a terrorist’s actions as well as the actions the police take to find and stop him.
