For the first time in his life, professional bodyguard Atticus Kodiak is laying low—with Alena Cizkova, a.k.a. Drama, once the world's premier assassin and now the target of assassination herself. Atticus and Alena are wounded, alone, and on the run from what they've done, what they haven't done, and what they'll need to do to survive. From Eastern Europe to Geneva to the Montana wilderness, they're being hunted across the world by someone more powerful than the mob, the FBI, or the CIA—and if they don't guess who it is and how to stop him, they're history.

"Atticus Kodiak & Alena Cizkova (AKA Drama) become the hunted. Can they stop the hunter before he terminates them?I really like the Atticus Kodiak character and have thoroughly enjoyed all of Rucka's titles as he has developed this character from the beginning in Keeper. "

“Rucka keeps the adrenaline level high throughout.”
— San Francisco Chronicle“Rucka expertly blends intense shoot-’em-up scenes with biting political commentary as Atticus and Alena uncover just how high the conspiracy reaches within the US government. Kodiak fans who’ve waited a long time for this installment will find it exceeds all expectations.”

— Tami, 1/22/2014" Would have enjoyed it more if I had read preceding books in series I think. "
— Lauren, 1/12/2014" A little anti-climactic after the gripping, thrill-rides of the previous Atticus Kodiak books. It just goes to show that being a bodyguard is a heckuva lot more exciting than being an assassin. "
— Tamara, 1/11/2014" I read this as a simple diversion at the end of a long semester of reading students' papers and books for the Common Read project. I read thrillers for pleasure - this one didn't do much for me - easily forgettable. "

— Joe, 2/25/2010" PROTAGONIST: Atticus Kodiak <br/>SERIES: #6 of 6 <br/>RATING: 3.25 <br/>WHY: The long-awaited next episode of the Atticus Kodiak series was somewhat of a disappointment to me. I prefer Atticus as a bodyguard, not an assassin. Lots of action, but characterization flatter than roadkill. "
