| Plot Summary of White Star |
|---|
"Owen Gray is a retired Marine Corps sniper. He wasn't just any sniper, he was the best. This was in Vietnam. Present day, Owen is working for the US District Attorney's office in NYC. He's a single father raising three adopted children, intent on forgetting about his past. Unfortunately, someone else from his past wants one final conflict with Owen. A Russian sniper who believes that he is the best, and determined to eliminate any other contenders. Mainly Owen Gray, who doesn't learn of his and the mysterious Russian's ties until delving into his past which he reluctantly must bring back in order to survive this do-or-die challenge. A suspensefully fulfilling, yet heartwarming story that you'll want to read again and again."
