Targeted / Stephen Hunter.
"After pulling off the best shot of his career and thwarting a dangerous terrorist, Bob Lee Swagger learns that no good deed goes unpunished. Though his takedown of the would-be assassin nearly cost him his life, the U.S. Congress has summoned him to court. A hardheaded anti-gun congresswoman has accused Swagger of wanton endangerment, determined to make an example of him. Now he must go before a hostile House Judiciary Committee in order to clear his name. But what begins as political posturing soon turns lethal when the hearing is attacked. Swagger, the congresswoman, and dozens of civilians are taken hostage by a bloodthirsty gang. Soon, the very people who deemed Bob a criminal are depending on him to save their lives. Trapped and still struggling with the injuries from his last assignment, Swagger must rely on his instincts, his shooting skills, and the help of an enigmatic rogue operator on the outside to keep everyone alive . . . or die trying."-- Provided by publisher.

Summary
Targeted
Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Stephen Hunter returns with a taut, white-knuckled thriller featuring master sniper Bob Lee Swagger as he protects a group of political hostages during a perilous standoff and once again proves his title of " true American literary icon" ( Mark Greaney, author of Mission Critical ) . After his successful takedown of a dangerous terrorist, Bob Lee Swagger learns that no good deed goes unpunished. Summoned to court by the United States Congress, Swagger is accused of reckless endangerment by a hardheaded anti-gun congresswoman. But what begins as political posturing soon turns deadly when the auditorium where the committee is being held is attacked. Swagger, the congresswoman, and numerous bystanders and reporters are taken hostage by a group of violent operatives. Soon, the very people who had accused him are depending on him to save their lives. Trapped in the auditorium and still struggling with injuries from his last assignment, Swagger must rely on his instincts, his shooting skills, and the help of a mysterious rogue sniper on the outside in order to ensure that everyone makes it out alive. A heart-pounding and crackling action-packed novel, Targeted proves that Stephen Hunter is "a true master at the pinnacle of his craft. No one does it better" (Jack Carr, Former Navy SEAL Sniper and author of The Terminal List ).
