Done in One - Hardcover

"Done In One" is a vivid, visceral look at the world of the police sniper, and it gets your adrenal gland working overtime. "Stephen Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of I, Sniper"

A rare treat -- a lean, fast-paced thriller with touchingly human characters and moments of startling insight. "John Verdon, bestselling author of Think of a Number"

There is a haunting, inescapable lethality to" Done In One." Through the scope of a sniper's weapon, we witness both the disturbing simplicity and the infinite complexities of the heroic kill, and are forever changed in the process. "John Burley, author of The Absence of Mercy"

What great entertainment! A plot that screams, characters you care about, all told in vivid detail. "Done in One" takes you inside the very small world of police snipers and makes it very, very real. "John Gilstrap, author of End Game and the Jonathan Grave thriller series"

Lean and direct, "Done in One" knows exactly what it is - a shot of adrenaline between two covers, but with enough heart not to leave the reader at arm's length. Jerkins and Thomas don't flinch, and they bring a twisting plot to a bold, satisfying conclusion. "Jamie Mason, author of Three Graves Full"

Tightens like a noose. I've read Grant Jerkins for years, and pairing with Jan Thomas has only seemed to up his game. A stark, spare thriller that you'll read faster than a bullet flies. If Jack Reacher ever got in touch with his feminine side, you'd have "Done in One." "Jenny Milchman, author of Cover of Snow"

A high-powered bone-rattler of a novel. "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

A thriller, a crime novel, a philosophical disquisition-no, no, it's a thriller, all right, nonstop, with a tremendous finish. But it is a novel about a sniper-a police, swat-team sniper-and it reflects sometimes very thoughtfully on the sniper's place in the moral world (or rather, its people do). "Sullivan County Democrat"

The authors are masters of the in-your-face surprise, and I will confess to jumping more than once as the story progressed to its ending. "Bookreporter.com""

One bullet equals one kill.

For SWAT sniper Jake Denton, the bullet casings he saves as grim reminders of his "kills" are beginning to add up. His wife, his department-ordered psychiatrist, and even Jake himself are all beginning to question just how these sanctioned kills are affecting his mental health. Nobody wants him to end up like Lee Staley, his mentor and ex-partner---now out on permanent psych leave, drinking himself to death, and the prime suspect in a series of shootings that have paralyzed Northern California.

Jake doesn't believe that Staley's guilty, but since their job has taught them to kill, how easy would it be for his friend to cross over to the other side? How easy would it be for him?

On every police force in the country, there's a SWAT sniper going about his daily life, acting like an average cop, until the moment when the call comes in. Then they become a hostage's last hope and a criminal's worst nightmare. To some, they are silent heroes---to others, silent killers. Grant Jerkins and Jan Thomas's Done in One pulls back the curtain on their world.
