Gideon, the hit man introduced in Sleeping with Strangers, returns in this "high-octane"(Publishers Weekly) thriller to discover that a hit has been taken out on him. Is it the man he left alive in Tampa, the cold beauty who taught him how to kill, the scorned woman he still desires, or an unknown enemy? As the hunter becomes the hunted, Gideon will need his friends-and his enemies-to get out of this crisis alive.
