"Bob Lee Swagger is a true American literary icon."--Mark Greaney, New York Times Bestselling Author of Mission Critical
“Nothing short of a legend” (The Washington Post), American sniper Bob Lee Swagger is back in the eleventh installment of Stephen Hunter’s New York Times-bestselling thriller series. In GAME OF SNIPERS, Swagger is enmeshed in an electrifying mission that will pit this undisputed master against a mysterious mercenary who is the rarest of things: a match for Swagger himself. From the deserts of Syria and the streets of Tel Aviv to America’s Great Plains, he becomes locked in pursuit of this elusive enemy, who seems to be planning an impossible shot.

Swagger is enjoying his retirement on his Idaho ranch with no plans of ever again shooting anything other than black circles on white paper. Then an unusual visitor arrives, uninvited. Janet McDowell, the self-dubbed “Madwoman of Baltimore,” has spent years and tens of thousands of dollars in pursuit of the sniper who killed her son, a Marine, in Iraq. She believes she at last has pinpointed the killer’s secret location and Swagger agrees to help, stunned by the intel Janet has laid her life on the line to amass.

In Tel Aviv, Swagger meets with high contacts in the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, and learns what little is known about the sniper called Juba. After a particularly brutal attack on a school bus, the Israelis have been pursuing the assassin themselves, but unlike Swagger, they want him alive. The hunt for Juba will lead Swagger to unexpected places well beyond the Middle East conflict—to the American heartland, and into the murky juncture where terrorism, drug cartels, and global geopolitics intersect in pathological ways. Ultimately, Swagger uncovers a conspiracy aimed at America’s most fragile political reality.

With all-too-real threats and a twisty, masterful storytelling, GAME OF SNIPERS is another gripping addition to a bestselling Bob Lee Swagger series.
