His skill is legendary, his accuracy such that his bullet can pierce the cross hairs of an enemy sniper's gun before claiming its victim. His mission: identify and kill Zaitsev. Zaitsev and Thorvald will draw each other out, with infinite and cold patience, until each is sure the other is his. The one who lives will become a legend, a hero. Based on a true story.
