Stephen Hunter is one of the greatest masters of the action genre. And the main character of his novels, Bob Lee Swagger, is one of the most striking characters in world thriller and cinema. This time, the great sniper turned his keen gaze back decades - to 1934, when America began a brutal war against the "enemies of society", bandits and bank robbers - Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Little Nelson... Bob Lee Swagger has long since retired related to shooting at live targets. He left his native land, selling a plot of land and an old house where all his ancestors had lived for more than 200 years. But the past does not let people go just like that. One day Bob received strange news. During the demolition of a house on a sold plot, a safe was pulled out of the ground. And in it... there were such strange things in it that it would be better for Bob to look at them himself. And Swagger went to watch. Not yet knowing that I had begun a journey of more than 80 years...
