SNIPER SHOT

SNIPER SHOT

SNIPER SHOT is the story of Ben Geller, a sniper on the Stratton, Oregon Special Emergency Response Team (SERT, which is synonymous with SWAT). Struggling to maintain his composure after taking a shot during a particularly intensive hostage siege, Geller discovers that not all of his enemies exist on the opposite side of the thin blue line.

While trying to juggle his failing marriage and a burgeoning affair with fellow officer Andrea Fellotino, Geller must also deal with the increasing enmity of his nemesis within the police department, Officer Bob Slater, who also happens to be his sniper partner on SERT.

Everything pivots around a staggering revelation during a second hostage crisis, in which a fifteen million dollar ransom and numerous lives are at stake. After a hostage is killed and the suspect inexplicably disappears with the ransom from SERT s impenetrable perimeter, Geller makes a discovery that rocks his department, and his team, to its very core. Only then does his hardest job begin that of proving what he knows, while trying to keep his family, and himself, alive.

Sniper Shot

Author: Barry Ozeroff

Publisher: iBooks Incorporated

Reviewer: Joe Fabel MWSA Review Board

The author presents the reader with a fast paced and action filled novel which portrays the inner relationships and duties of the members of the thin blue line, a northwester police department. Does the brotherhood stand together?

Specifically, the plot revolves around the demands and duties of a sniper who is part of a hostage relief team. It is high drama due to interpersonal conflicts within the ranks of the police force. There are stressful situations demanding full attention to duty; yet, personal relationship along with wayward thoughts and actions cause distraction.

When the protagonist faces family obligations and crisis, he finds his true needs towards his family are uppermost in his mind. Even facing the throes of an Internal Affairs review as well as a trial by jury, the main character displays his grasp of adherence to the high standards of his calling.
