One shot ruined his life. One mission could end it.

Now a pianist on a USO tour, he’s thrust back into the crosshairs when a friend vanishes and a disgraced commander demands Sharp exploit his tour to locate Saddam’s rumoured arsenal. But Sharp doesn’t follow orders anymore.
On stage before seventy-five thousand fans, he knows one assassin waits for the final note.
