Return Fire

SWAT sniper Ben Geller and his family have a lot on their plate. They were victims of a recent hostage siege, their debts far outweigh their earnings, and they''re trying to adopt a troubled young African-American boy. So the last thing they need is to be stalked by a madman with a grudge, a creative imagination, and fifteen million dollars. Ben has other problems as well. Of the three ladies in his life, the only faithful one is his eight-year-old daughter. The other two-the wife he thought he knew, and the badge-wielding girlfriend who''s maybe just a little too possessive-are both full of surprises. When the stress gets to him, and his job is threatened by an excessive force complaint, Ben realises he has lost all control of his life. Then things begin to change for the better, leaving Ben back in full control. But better isn''t always what it''s cracked up to be, and control isn''t just something Ben''s lost, it''s something he never had. And now, in RETURN FIRE, Ozeroff fans get the payoff they''ve been waiting for. Barry Ozeroff, a 21-year police veteran and former SWAT sniper, is a hostage negotiator and motorcycle officer with the Gresham, Oregon Police Department.
