This is the most completely unrealistic plot I have read in many years. I am aware of Poetic License, and suspended belief, or disbelief, but this one really violates the Pig Rule. A police sniper, paid to shoot to kill, gets prosecuted for doing his job. A judge has so much power and wealth(where do judges get wealthy?)that he virtually ruins the life of the sniper who shot his son. Give me a break. I don't know what world the author lives in, but in my world, this is total fantasy.Suspense is compelling because it is based on reality and rooted in experience.I'll stick to George Pelacanos or Michael Connolly.If this book wasn't in my Kindle, I'd have thrown it across the room.
