Description:
The Sniper's Wife (Joe Gunther Series, Book #13) by Archer MayorA phone call from New York City pulls Detective Willy Kunkle away from the relative refuge of Vermont -- back to his rarely acknowledged past in the city, his prior life of turmoil and conflict, and to the dead body of his ex-wife, Mary. She's been found, alone and abandoned in her rundown apartment, an apparent drug overdose, and Willy is the only person a disinterested NYPD can find to vouch for her remains.
Driven by loss and guilt, assailed by memories of a rough childhood and a poor performance as a mate, Willy struggles through his grief using his twin talents as an investigator and a combat sniper to recognize what others have missed: Mary's death was no accident.
From fire-gutted tenements to Brooklyn Heights townhouses, Willy Kunkle travels through old shadows, wrestling with familiar, menacing demons, and risks all to reach for grace.
