The third instalment in the Dickey trilogy is a fast- paced story that spans the globe, set in the steamy, seedy underworld of crime. It features the hitman Gideon, a character who has captivated fans in the previous two books of the trilogy, Sleeping with Strangers and Waking with Enemies. Dickey explores this troubled character and the violence of the world while simultaneously introducing new characters - and new adversaries.
