Dickey brings us another action-packed, thrilling chapter of assassin Gideons life (previous ones are Sleeping with Strangers, 2007; Walking with Enemies, 2007; and Dying for Revenge, 2008). In this installment, Gideon is drawn back into the life of an old flame, a con woman named Arizona. Accepting a contract to help her find a package that contains technology that will ensure a multimillion-dollar payoff, Gideon is actually brought face-to-face with the man he thought he killed when he was just a seven-year-old boy. Spanning continents, Gideon finds himself in a war zone in Argentina, fighting the best assassin team in the world, the Four Horsemen. It is in Argentina where Gideon comes face-to-face with truths about Arizona, and also his father, the man he thought he killed those many years ago: Midnightwho happens to also be the deadliest of the Four Horsemen. This exciting read will keep Gideon fans at the edge of their seats with fast-paced action that ignites the imagination as if reading a graphic novel or watching an action movie.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
