The Caje Cole series by David Healey follows a mountain-raised sharpshooter through the major battles of World War II. Cole is a country boy from the Appalachian hills whose marksmanship, honed by years of hunting, makes him one of the deadliest snipers in the American army. The series tracks him from the beaches of Normandy through France, the Ardennes, and eventually into the Pacific theater.
Ghost Sniper (2014) is the first book and introduces Cole during the D-Day invasion. The series continued steadily with new entries through the 2020s, most recently Samurai and Snipers (2025), which takes Cole to the war against Japan. Along the way, he faces enemy snipers, harsh winter conditions, and the grinding toll of prolonged combat.
The books are best read in publication order, as Cole’s experiences and relationships carry forward from one installment to the next. Readers who enjoy military thrillers with a recurring protagonist will find plenty to work through here.
