Targeted is the 12th Bob Lee Swagger book from Stephen Hunter. "Swagger is recovering at his Idaho ranch from his latest good deed - saving a former president from a sniper's bullet. Some in Congress want to make an example of the violence of his heroism and demand that he appear before a Congressional committee in Boise. Nearby events send criminals to the hearing where they hold the senators and Swagger hostage. Now Swagger must use the very skills he's being questioned about to save the lives of everyone." I like that Hunter has allowed Swagger to age. He is now 74 and living his best life on his ranch - but still with the skills learned years ago growing up in rural Arkansas. There are three stories here that all meet at the end. The hearing is a way to debate the use of force. The British records give some interesting detail to Swagger's backstory. And the hostage takers are scary - willing to die to make a point. Swagger is Swagger and the last act is explosive and wild. Another great Swagger story from Hunter.
