In the world of law enforcement, there are few things more complicated and exasperating than the investigation of a serial murder. Multiple victims and multiple crime scenes require extra attention and extraordinary analytical skills. The rare instance of a sniper serial killer is perhaps the most challenging investigation of all. With little evidence and lots of danger, a high-powered rifle in the hands of an expert marksman represents an investigator's worst nightmare. That nightmare has come true for the characters in Implied Contract. Death at long distance. Imagine a serial killer who never touches his victim. Never kidnaps them, never tortures them, and never even comes close to them. Sound impossible? It's not. Very rarely, a serial killer comes along who represents the pinnacle of deadly detachment. He is a sniper. Using a high-powered rifle and the proper ammunition, he can be hundreds of yards away and still kill instantly. In the right surroundings, a sniper can operate undetected for years. The combination of no trace evidence at the scenes, no witnesses, no ballistic evidence and no informants makes this scenario next to impossible to unravel. Mason Klauss and Jill Redhorse tackle these seemingly unsolvable murders, deftly weaving through a complicated maze of corrupt politicians, crooked cops, vigilante townspeople, and a budding romantic relationship. Thrilling from beginning to end, Implied Contract examines the inherent injustices and obstacles of the criminal justice system while telling a truly unforgettable story.

Review
This was the best fictional novel I've ever read. I couldn t put it down till I'd finished the whole book. It seemed so real that the characters had to be real people with different names. I cried my eyes out at the end. --Shirley B. Missouri
One of the best novels I've ever read. I love Stephen Hunter and your writing is just as good as his. Your writing style is a lot like his also. Tremendous piece of work. --Jim S. Wisconsin
I loved the book. The characters and plot seemed so real that I had to keep reminding myself that it was fiction. Ever since I read the book, I've not been able to get the story out of my head. I can't wait for your next release. --Judy M. Wisconsin

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding,
This review is from: Implied Contract Second Revised Edition (Perfect Paperback)
I am a retired federal agent, and current part-time police officer. This thriller, written by a former police chief, will keep you riveted to your chair. The expertise of the author, from his years in law enforcement, really added to the book. Even as a long-time police officer, the identities of the perps involved in the tale were skillfully hidden from me by the author, until he was ready for them to be revealed.
