Byron Stone is waiting. For three hours, heâs had his rifle trained on another human being, a violent offender with a woman and two children as hostages. Even though heâs already been given the green light for the kill, Stone takes his time. When the moment finally arrives, Stone will have to take the shot without flinching, without hesitation, because there may be only one split second thatâs the right one for Stoneâs strike. So thinking about the life he is about to end will have to wait. But it canât.
