Description
A deadly sniper is killing people in groups of three. Miami Detective Al Warner hates senseless murder, but the second set of targets provides several possible motives. One victim is brain dead but alive, reliant on life support. The FBI ID’s the shooter as The Shadow, an elusive, nameless contract killer they’ve hunted for two decades.
Charles Seagrave and his lover, Kim, are on a desperate search for a rare blood type liver donor for his nephew, Hunter, who only has months to live. The Shadow’s brain-dead victim is a possible candidate, but his mother won’t accept her son will never recover.
The Shadow drops more victims, another coincidentally a donor match for Hunter. Warner doesn’t trust happenstance and a secondary investigation opens a door into a deadly black market organ ring. As the detective races to uncover the illegal labs and stem those patient deaths, he learns Seagrave is dogging the Shadow’s victims’ families in hopes of a private donation.
A chance connection finally leads Warner to the assassin. In a shocking twist of exposed identities and astounding revelations, The Shadow escapes. Has Warner finally met his match? The fight to save Hunter and Warner’s mission to apprehend The Shadow results in a battle that may prove deadly for all.

Miami Detective Al Warner has a bad feeling about the first three people shot by a sniper. He has a feeling there will be more killings and he is right. The sniper strikes again, but one victim is left barely alive. Then it happens again. The sniper leaves no clues, no evidence and the motive is unknown. At the same time, readers learn that Charles Seagrave and his girlfriend are on a mission to find a liver for his dying nephew. They are racing against time.
The author brings to readers an exciting and fast moving thriller. The narrative is brought to life by the vivid details of the investigation and the pursuit of the sniper. There is tension, violence and action packed scenes. Shocking secrets are revealed as the story races to a conclusion. Perfectly paced and well plotted, Sniper is a real page turner. Highly recommended.

I received this book through "NetGalley".
What a story. The action starts right at the beginning and does not let up. The story is about the search for a liver for a dying boy who needs a transplant. The main activities involved the sniper killing individuals and trying to hide exactly what the purpose of the killings was. Al Warber has the job of trying to discover the purpose behind the killings. At the same time he also has a case where individuals are giving transplants where because of the transplant items have not been stored properly are winding up dying. He ultimately discovers and is able to shut down the bad transplants working with the FBI.
Killings by the sniper are still continuing and Al is no closer to discovering a motive. Through hard work Al gets a break and confronts the killer where a gun battle ensues. The sniper eventually is able to evade the police. Al is faced with trying to discover how this person got away.
Al along with the FBI determine that the sniper is on a ship sailing and he and the FBI make plans to intercept it.
To discover the identity of the sniper and why getting a transplant for the boy is so impotant in addition to seeing whether Al and the FBI were successful with intercepting the ship, you need to read the book. You won't be disappointed.

Great action thriller with enough twists to keep you guessing. Empathetic characters, including Detective Al Warner who is back again trying to figure the who and why of a series of seemingly random murders carried out in sets of three by an expert sniper. Meanwhile Charlie and his girlfriend are desperately searching for a donor liver fo his dying nephew.. The search ,the reveal, and the chase are all expertly handled in an excellent story.
