Sniper

Cosy Nook view map

The verb "to snipe" originated in the 1770s among British soldiers in India where a hunter skilled enough to kill the elusive snipe was dubbed a "sniper"

Tough guy Thomas Beckett is a US Marine working in the Panamanian jungle.
His job is to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills.
Beckett is notorious for losing his partners on such missions. This time he's accompanied by crack marksman Richard Miller.
