Holed up in a frigid New York City basement lair, Ben Blackshaw
gets a coded distress call from his former commanding officer. The
new mission takes Blackshaw on an international manhunt for a
mysterious sniper. To launch the mission, Blackshaw is secretly
flown across the country in an unmanned drone. When the UAV's
encrypted guidance system is hacked by a sleeper cell of
terrorists, the plane crashes, delivering Blackshaw into the hands
of gunmen intent on killing him. He barely survives this opening
skirmish, only to come under fire on a Los Angeles rooftop from the
rogue sniper. His former CO, and two innocent bystanders are cut
down in the barrage of bullets. Racked with grief, driven by guilt,
Blackshaw reconnects with his old friend, Knocker Ellis Hogan, and
together they try to lead the murderer away from populated areas
before making the kill. The chase leapfrogs from the high Chilean
desert to the icy wastes of northern Canada. At every turn, the
killer slips away from their traps like a ghost. Along the way,
Blackshaw learns that the sniper's deadly work is directed from the
highest offices of the United States Government, and is part of a
larger conspiracy to ignite a genocidal war-for-profit in South
America. After Ellis is gravely wounded, Blackshaw makes a final
stand on a wrecked ship in the Chesapeake Bay, only to discover
that the killer's identity could make completing the mission next
to impossible
