POINT & SHOOT by Duane Swierczynski
The series of fast-paced crime novels that began with Fun and Games (“Insanely entertaining” –Josh Bazell) and Hell and Gone (“Swierczynski puts the rest of the crime-writing world on notice” –Laura Lippman) reaches its astonishing conclusion.
FUN & GAMES AND HELL & GONE COME FULL CIRCLE IN THE HARDIE SERIES’ ASTONISHING CONCLUSION.
Charlie Hardie finds himself in a steel box, tubes and wires attached to his body, trapped inside a satellite parked in orbit 500 miles above the Earth. He’s got a year’s supply of food, air, water, and no communication back to Earth, and must complete his 12 months’ duty or his wife and son will have an “accident.”
But when someone all-too-familiar docks on the satellite, informs Hardie he’s sitting in a veritable zero-G vault containing the world’s most dangerous secrets, and forces a crash-landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hardie must decide whether he’s come face-to-face with the partner he needs to save his family–or with his nemesis. After years of exile, Hardie’s arming up….and heading home.
