When his former partner is murdered by an unusually skilled sniper, a disabled former FBI agent with an exceptional ability for reading difficult crime scenes struggles to outmaneuver a killer during a historical blizzard. By the best-selling author of Bloodman. - McMillan Palgrave
"City of Windows is moving, breathtakingâa great entertainment." âThe Wall Street Journal
âA tough, wise, knowing narrative voice, a great plot, a great setting, and even better characters â I loved this.â âLee Child, New York Times bestselling author
In the tradition of Jeffery Deaverâs Lincoln Rhyme and David Baldacciâs Amos Decker, Robert Pobi's City of Windows introduces Lucas Page, a brilliant, reluctant investigator, matching wits with a skilled, invisible killer
During the worst blizzard in memory, an FBI agent in a moving SUV in New York City is killed by a nearly impossible sniper shot. Unable to pinpoint where the shot came from, as the storm rapidly wipes out evidence, the agent-in-charge Brett Kehoe turns to the one man who might be able to help themâformer FBI agent Lucas Page.
Page, a university professor and bestselling author, left the FBI years ago after a tragic event robbed him of a leg, an arm, an eye, and the willingness to continue. But he has an amazing ability to read a crime scene, figure out angles and trajectories in his head, and he might be the only one to be able to find the sniperâs nest. With a new wife and family, Lucas Page has no interest in helping the FBIâexcept for the fact that the victim was his former partner.
Agreeing to help for his partnerâs sake, Page finds himself hunting a killer with an unknown agenda and amazing sniper skills in the worst of conditions. And his partnerâs murder is only the first in a series of meticulously planned murders carried out with all-but-impossible sniper shots. The only thing connecting the deaths is that the victims are all with law enforcementâthat is until Pageâs own family becomes a target.
To identify and hunt down this ruthless, seemingly unstoppable killer, Page must discover what hidden past connects the victims before he himself loses all that is dear to him.
