Dead Shot (Sniper #2)

Dead Shot is the second Sniper book by Jack Coughlin with Donald A. Davis.

Kyle Swanson was the the USMC's best sniper. Now that he is dead - officially buried in Arlington National Cemetery - he is free to undertake black ops assignments. He is a part of a super secret group that works directly for the president in counter terrorism.

A deadly gas explosion tests a new bio terrorism weapon that poisons everyone who gets near it. It is a gas that is heavy and will not be spread far by wind and so can be controlled in the right environments.

Kyle and his team is sent to Iraq to check out a suspected chemical weapons plant and follow the trail of the poison as well as the assassin-sniper known as Juba. Possibly the best sniper in the world - unless Kyle is the best sniper in the world. Before the book ends the two will face off in a deadly battle for survival.

Coughlin, a retired sniper himself, captures the techniques and stress of battle situations with a character that readers will follow on all of his future assignments.
