David Healey

    David Healey je autorem historických thrillerů, které jsou výsledkem jeho hlubokého zájmu o historii a vášnivého výzkumu. Jeho díla, ať už se odehrávají během Občanské války nebo druhé světové války, se vyznačují rychlým spádem a propracovanými intrikami. Healey často čerpá z rozhovorů s válečnými veterány a ze svých vlastních zkušeností, aby vytvořil uvěřitelné postavy, jako jsou neúnavní odstřelovači v boji proti zkušeným protivníkům. Kromě beletrie se věnuje i regionální historii, čímž upevňuje své postavení jako vypravěče minulosti.

      Sniper Caje Cole thought he was done with war after the victory in Europe, but a violent act of justice back home in the mountains forces him into the Army once more to fight in the Korean War. Cole just wants to lay low and get through this war so that he can return to his solitary life in a cabin that he built deep in the woods. However, with his unit surrounded at the frigid Chosin Reservoir and confronted by a deadly enemy sniper, Cole must use all his skill with a rifle to fight back. During a legendary retreat through the mountainous terrain, U.S. troops and their South Korean allies struggle for survival in the brutal cold against a savage enemy.
