This was an excellent story.  Mike Gallagher is a homicide detective in Athens, Georgia, a college town, where an attack of one or more snipers kills 64 people one morning just before dawn, including his own daughter.  More attacks follow in other college towns, and Mike, with his photographic memory, sets out to solve the case, despite orders from the FBI to immediately cease and desist.  (You know that's not going to sit well with Mike, and cheer for his disobedience).I didn't see the twist at the very end coming, and it was believable.  That adds to the story's rating in my opinion.What I didn't like is the formatting and writing.  Many, many times, the author jumped from past tense to present tense, often within the same sentence, which makes it very hard to take the book seriously.  There are other, less glaring grammatical errors, but changing verb tense is a huge problem.  I'd also have liked it better if each new chapter began on a new page, but it wasn't formatted that way.  If these problems could be changed, I'd happily up my rating of this book.
