Who killed Whiskey 2-2? And why won.t it stay dead?

A marine sniper team on a mission in tribal territories on the Afghan-
Pakistan border, Whiskey 2-2 is ambushed by professionals using the
latest high-tech shooting gear. Badly wounded, the team.s sole survivor,
Gunnery Sergeant Ray Cruz, aka .the Cruise Missile., is determined to
finish his job. He almost succeeds when a mystery blast terminates his
enterprise, leaving a 30-foot crater where a building used to be . and
where Sergeant Cruz was meant to be hiding.

Months pass. Ray.s target, an Afghan warlord named Ibrahim Zarzi,
sometimes called .The Beheader., becomes an American asset in the
region and beyond, beloved by State, the Administration, and the
Agency. He arrives in Washington for consecration as Our Man in Kabul.
But so does a mysterious radio transmission, in last year.s code.
It.s from Whiskey 2-2: MISSION WILL BE COMPLETED. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

Is Ray Cruz back? Has he gone rogue, is he insane, or just insanely
angry? Will he succeed, though his antagonists now include the CIA,
the FBI, and the same crew of bad boys that nearly killed him in Zabol
province? Not to mention Bob Lee Swagger and a beautiful CIA agent
named Susan Okada who gives Swagger more than just a patriotic reason
to take the case.

Swagger, the legendary hero of seven of Hunter.s novels, is recruited
by the FBI to stop the Cruise Missile from reaching his target.
The problem is that the more Swagger learns about what happened in
Zabol, the more he questions the U.S. government.s support of Zarzi
and the more he identifies with Cruz as hunter instead of prey.

With its hallmark accuracy on modern killing technologies, Dead Zero
features an older, more contemplative Swagger, but never lets up on
the razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, extraordinary
action scenes, and dazzling prose that define Hunter.s landmark series.
