Nocturne for a Dangerous Man

In this science fiction adventure debut, a professional tracker and man of many faces tests his skills when he must rescue a woman from terrorists.

“One of the best thrillers in years.” —San Diego Union-Tribune

Gavilan Robie was a man who lived a very private life—under several different names and faces, many of whom had acquaintances and friends—but only a very few people were acquaintances of Gavilan Robie. Robie was a hunter, once a member of the clandestine Action Rescue Committee, now freelance. And when he’s hired by a powerful multi-national corporation to find an employee kidnapped by terrorists, he finds himself in over his head. He will need every trick he’s picked up during years of covert ops just to survive.
