All he wants is to be left alone, a normal existence away from the
assorted creeps and lowlifes inherent to his former profession as a
private investigator. Unfortunately, peace and solitude are hard
to find for Lee Oswald, a battle-hardened veteran of the first Gulf War,
now weary after a decade as the fix-it man of last resort on the back
streets of Dallas.
But when internationally-renowned medical researcher Anita Nazari begs him to help find the person threatening her daughter’s life, Oswald reluctantly returns to the shadowy world he’s tried so hard to leave behind. Once there, he finds himself engaged in a high stakes battle against a man known only as The Professor, a former intelligence operative intent on destroying the results of the doctor’s latest research, a seemingly innocuous discovery about the mystery illness dubbed the Gulf War Syndrome. The retired agent leads Oswald on a deadly search for the one man who can identify him and thus unravel a conspiracy of shady former government officials with an unhealthy interest in Dr. Nazari and her work. When Oswald locates the missing witness and learns the startling information the man possesses, Oswald places his allegiance with the truth, as he fights back against an enemy more insidious and deadly than he’s ever faced. "A triumph." –Kirkus Reviews
"Hunsicker's strong third Lee Henry Oswald contemporary hard-boiled mystery, like its two predecessors, Still River and The Next Time You Die, does for Dallas what Loren Estleman's Amos Walker novels have done for Detroit... 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." -Publishers Weekly
"Harry Hunsicker should be on every reader’s radar…[he] has a wonderful talent for drawing people into a story and not letting go…books three in the series is a hands down winner. Hunsicker is one of my favorite writers, of any genre." –Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine |

"Harry Hunsicker fuses a white-knuckled thriller with a post-modern detective novel, and Crosshairs delivers the goods: Layered, intense, and rich with deadly characters. Let there be no doubt—Hunsicker is an emerging star." --Robert Crais, bestselling author of The Two Minute Rule The terrific joy of Crosshairs is the dialogue, crisp, in your face and as raw and as mean as the east streets of Dallas that even Lee is reluctant to visit but with a fine line of humor shot through. This is already one of the best series and has a confidence and assuredness that doesn't usually occur until book six or seven. I'm already impatient for the next installment. --Ken Bruen, Shamus-Award winning author of The Guards "Lee Henry Oswald walks the mean streets of Dallas with humor and style. Crosshairs keeps you turning the pages to find out where he's going." --James O. Born, author of Field of Fire |
