From Thieves' Paradise to Drive Me Crazy to Chasing Destiny (which reached #6 on the New York Times list—his eighth bestseller), Eric Jerome Dickey has captivated audiences with his edgy, steamy books.
Dickey's fans will be delighted by this fast-paced, deadly, and sensual read that gives them the chance to catch up with some of their favorite characters while introducing a great new bad-boy narrator: a hit man who goes by the name of Gideon. He's a man who lives off the grid, drifting along while making love on the run as he works as a hit man—enacting the revenge of the broken-hearted . . . for a price.
With a supporting cast of grifters and killers, broken-hearted squares and streetwalkers, and three very different women who each want to become Gideon's leading lady, this is a world that thrives on the darker passions of revenge and desire.
Get ready for another scorching hot read full of twists and surprises from an author who keeps climbing higher on the bestseller lists with each new book.
After a brutal hit in Tampa on high-profile rapper Big Bad Wolf, contract killer Gideon, the star of this fast-paced thriller from bestseller Dickey, jets to London for his next assignment. On the plane, paranoia brewing just beneath his poker face keeps him wary of two mysterious passengers who could be either harmless squares or hired guns out to avenge Big Bad Wolf's murder. This constant uncertainty over who's in the game and who isn't keeps Gideon—and readers—on edge as Gideon navigates London's underworld and pursues a personal vendetta. Dickey occasionally shifts away from Gideon's point of view to that of another hit man who has just received his next contract: Gideon. The plot is taut, fast and bold—total blockbuster entertainment, replete with an abundance of sex, violence and James Bond touches. A tense cliffhanger caps a wild ride. The next installment is due in August, which for many readers won't be soon enough. (Apr.)
Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information More Reviews and RecommendationsBack in 1996, former software engineer writer Eric Jerome Dickey quit his day job as a substitute teacher after the success of his first novel, Sister, Sister. With the sexy, savvy flow of African-American-themed bestsellers that followed, it's pretty safe to say Dickey won't have to go back to the classroom.

October 20, 2009: I had the book 2 yrs before I actually had time to read it. Finally I sat down to read it and it was definitely an easy read. Unfotunately, I had no idea that it was the beginning of a 4 book series so I had to wait until I received my book. However, Great and entertaining storyline from start to finish. I wasn't able to put it down and I sure you won't be able to as well.
I don't suggest giving this book for a gift unless you are buying the entire series for the person.I Also Recommend: Waking with Enemies (Gideon Series #2), Waking with Enemies (Gideon Series #2), Dying for Revenge (Gideon Series #3), Resurrecting Midnight (Gideon Series #4), Dying for Revenge (Gideon Series #3).

October 05, 2009: I read the reviews and thought I had found a different author to read. So I ordered three books - Different alright - I only read the first few pages before I decided, this is not for me - the language was too crude for me. I usually donate my books to the library, not this time. I didn't want anyone to think I would read these - they made their way to the garbage, "post haste".
