DONE IN ONE
Jan Thomas, Grant Jerkins

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Thriller | Mystery

Jake is a SWAT team sniper. Jake so far has seventeen kills. Jake is married to Jill who was an EMT until she injured her leg and can longer perform her duties. They both seem to have a very happy life. They do not keep secrets from each other. Jill is the one who helps him talk out the day's happenings after a kill.

Because Jill can no longer work as an EMT, she changes her career and has become a published author as well as teaching a writing class for a college. One of her students--Susan--has become a very good writer and Jill is a little jealous. Jill's family does not like the fact that Jake can't make it to a lot of family affairs as he is on call 24/7. They are always picking on Jake and this just makes Jill hurt more.

The two authors Grant Jerkins and Jan Thomas write a story that really has me thinking. One of the points that they bring up in the story is whether you would feel the same if the hostage was one of your family or close friend. This really got me to thinking about what the SWAT team has to go though. The other point in this story that I also had a hard time really thinking about is are these guys taking out criminals or are they just murderers.

What a compelling story. I can't imaging what goes though these SWAT team's heads when they are called out. The same goes for the service men and women that also have to deal with similar situations. I would like to find out the story after the end of DONE IN ONE. Did Jake give up his career; is his marriage still as strong as ever? Great read!

SUMMARY

One bullet equals one kill. For SWAT sniper Jake Denton, the bullet casings he saves as grim reminders of his "kills" are beginning to add up. His wife, his department-ordered psychiatrist, and even Jake himself are all beginning to question just how these sanctioned kills are affecting his mental health. Nobody wants him to end up like Lee Staley, his mentor and ex-partner---now out on permanent psych leave, drinking himself to death, and the prime suspect in a series of shootings that have paralyzed Northern California. Jake doesn't believe that Staley’s guilty, but when their job has taught them to kill, how easy would it be for his friend to cross over to the other side? How easy would it be for him? On every police force in the country, there's a SWAT sniper going about his daily life, acting like an average cop, until the moment when the call comes in. Then they become a hostage’s last hope and a criminal's worst nightmare. To some, they are silent heroes---to others, silent killers. Done in One pulls back the curtain on their world.
