Product Description
Before the war Peter had lived an ordinary life, teaching in a university, falling in love. Then the war came, and nothing was ordinary again. Now he is a war hero who lies still for hours among the rubble and snow and dead bodies, killing the enemy one by one each time they stray in front of the sights of his rifle.
But one day, in this city where the living are just dead men walking, Peter comes across a target he cannot kill.
Sighted is a short story first published in the Stoker-nominated and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated anthology At Ease With The Dead.
Iain Rowan's short fiction has been reprinted in anthologies, won awards, and been the basis for a novel shortlisted for the UK Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger award.
