Former Army sniper Bill Tatum likes his
new job. As Deputy Sheriff of Mineral County, Colorado, he
gets to ride a horse and wear a cool hat, but he never expected
to find a dead woman in the hills behind his cabin. Tatum
never expected to find himself on the wrong side of the crosshairs,
either. The woman with the bullet hole in her temple was a
reporter from the Rocky Mountain News, and her journal brings
to life the big-city intrigue simmering in his small mountain
town, but it brings him no closer to her murderer. The dead
woman’s shorthand reveals secret affairs, political corruption,
and a pending environmental disaster, but Tatum has little
time to ponder motive, because the bullets are flying. No
one is safe from the deadly accurate vengeance of a well-placed
rifle bullet. As Tatum muddles through the deception and lies
in his once-innocent alpine village, the sniper stays one
step ahead of him, killing mercilessly, then disappearing
into the Colorado wilderness, eliminating carefully chosen
targets with impunity. Tatum cannot overcome the sniper’s
meticulous planning and penchant for public assassinations.
When his suspects fill up the county morgue instead of the
jail, Tatum realizes he must fall back on his training as
an Army sniper to regain Superior Position and stop
the terror from the ridge above.
Evan McNamara is a former Army officer
and 82nd Airborne paratrooper. He now works for a wireless
communications company in Kansas City, Missouri, where he
lives with his wife and daughter. Superior Position
is his first novel.
