Description
Lieutenant Kimiyo Yamashita is known for his iron will and nerves of steel, but when Shadow Squadron is tasked with protecting an Iraqi terrorist-turned-politician, even the hardened sniper flinches. Yamashita promises to keep the dirty V.I.P. in his sights at all times . . . but that only makes the itch to pull the trigger more tempting.
