First published 2008
Gideon operates in a brutal criminal underworld that stretches across continents. The professional assassin has survived countless contracts and eliminated numerous targets, but now he confronts an adversary unlike any he has encountered before. This opponent possesses skills that match his own and knowledge that threatens everything Gideon has built. The confrontation forces Gideon to draw on every technique he has mastered and every instinct he has developed through years of killing for money. As the battle escalates across international borders, Gideon discovers that this fight will test not only his abilities as a killer but also his capacity to survive when someone equally deadly wants him dead. The stakes have never been higher, and failure means more than losing a contract. It means losing his life.
