Kill Shot: A Novel
(White Knights #2)
Paperback – ebook - audio
February 6, 2018
Suspense and romance combine in Susan Sleeman's thrilling new novel about an FBI agent who must team up with a beautiful therapist to stop a killer with a deadly new weapon.
Some fears haunt you forever....
As the ballistics and weapon's expert for the FBI's special task force nicknamed the White Knights, Rick Cannon has known the Department of Defense was developing self-steering bullets. Rick feared these smart bullets--which have one hundred percent accuracy that can turn even a novice into a lethal sniper--would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before that happened. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
Until they become reality.
When a homeless vet is killed with a smart bullet, it's clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. But they aren't the only ones desperate to find the killer. Therapist Olivia Dobbs is well known for her success in counseling military veterans with PTSD. When she discovers one of her clients moments after he is murdered, she becomes both the FBI's prime witness, and suspect.
Despite the mutual attraction that immediately sparks between them, Rick can't--no he won't--let Olivia interfere with his investigation. But when the sniper trains his rifle on her, Rick must recall all the skills he learned as a Marine sniper to make sure the next bullet fired isn't a kill shot that takes Olivia out

WHITE KNIGHTS
· Book 1 - Fatal Mistake
· Book 2 - Kill Shot
· Book 1 - Fatal Mistake
· Book 2 - Kill Shot
My thoughts: KILL SHOT is the second book in Ms. Sleeman's White Knights series, and while it easily stands alone, fans will want to read Fatal Mistake to get Cam's story. This is romantic suspense so both are key ingredients in this story.
The story does get a bit technical (smart bullets? Really? that is just plain scary) as the White Knights race to figure out who-dun-it before the killer strikes again. I wondered what Olivia's ties to the killer was.... why was she and her clients targets? I couldn't guess and had to keep reading to find out.
More conservative readers might be offended by the use of a couple soft swear words.
Fans of romantic suspense will want to read this story. Ms. Sleeman is a master at romantic suspense. Kill shot. Grab a copy now.
