Book Review: Perfect Shot by Steve Urszenyi
By Jeff Ayers
November 28, 2023Urszenyi’s Perfect Shot is a stellar debut, and from the outset, he brings a nonstop action thriller that reads like he’s been writing novels for years. FBI Special Agent Alexandra Martel was once a decorated Army sniper, but she has left that life behind. On a mission to assist Interpol on a case, Alexandra learns that a friend whom she has not seen in quite some time has died. When Alexandra starts asking questions, she finds her life in danger. What was her friend, Krysten, involved with, and does it relate to her being an MI-5 agent working undercover?
Alexandra reluctantly teams up with a CIA Agent named Caleb, who is actively trying to recruit her to join the agency. The search takes a dark turn when they learn that a nuclear warhead has gone missing. What follows is an action-packed thriller that reads like the best of Mark Greaney and Brad Thor in globe-trotting and mayhem. Alexandra is a character readers will want to follow through Hellfire, and thankfully, this is the start of a series featuring her and her unique set of skills. With just one novel, Urszenyi has already made himself essential reading for fans of special-op tales.
