The third Lee Henry Oswald adventure.
Ex-PI Oswald is working as a bartender, and just wants to be left alone…but an old friend calls in a favor and he reluctantly agrees to help a dying, military veteran find his missing daughter. The hunt plunges Oswald into a deadly, government conspiracy and into battle with a former spy-turned-assassin intent on destroying scientific research into a mysterious illness that’s afflicting Gulf War soldiers. To save the girl, and himself, Oswald must delve into the dark heart of the Dallas underworld again —and face the deadliest enemy he’s ever known.
Hunsicker has a flair for turning phrases, and his broken, wounded characters could have stepped straight from the pages of Cornell Woolrich's despairing stories.
A first-rate thriller. The terrific joy of Crosshairs is the dialogue – crisp, in your face, and as raw and mean as the east streets of Dallas, but with a fine line of humor shot-through.
Harry Hunsicker fuses a white-knuckled thriller with a post-modern detective novel: Layered, intense, and rich with deadly characters.
