This one is the story of two snipers, one repaying a family debt, the other a minion of the Iraqi regime. In between them is a CIA/SIS promoted surge by the Kurds in Northern Iraq. What follows is a battle between two men as the surge crumbles away due to politics and treachery.
I found it to be quite the gripping tale and didn't present people as idealistic heroes, instead portraying the characters as the flawed people they would likely be had they existed in reality.
Worth the read. (
