GIDEON REDEMPTION - Available Now!

GIDEON REDEMPTION is the third novel in the GIDEON saga, and pits Kelly Harper against the shadowy group known as The Committee, who have offered a seven-million-dollar bounty for the identity of the mysterious assassin.  After years of following false reports, they’ve finally received convincing evidence that leads to Kelly, putting her life and the lives of the people around her, in mortal danger.  The Committee dispatches a specialist to do a hands-on investigation.  Once he has firm confirmation, his order is explicit: terminate Gideon.

Kelly and a small group of trusted computer and financial experts feverishly work around the clock to uncover the names of the people on The Committee, with the intent of making a preemptive strike before Kelly falls victim to the hit man on her trail.

Meanwhile, Inspector Pete Ericson continues to have nagging questions about the apparent self-inflicted drug overdose of Tommy Moretti and won’t rest until he has all the answers.  Fingerprints found at the scene may reveal that the last person to see the victim alive was none other than Kelly, which would implicate her in Moretti’s death.

"MEN READING BOOKS" Review of GIDEON: REDEMPTION

Gideon Redemption is the third novel by Grant Rosenberg that I’ve reviewed, the third in a series about his protagonist Kelly Harper. It was Kelly’s father, Dr. David Harper, who was the main figure in the first book, Gideon. He was a physician who took over responsibility for a clinic in the Mission District of San Francisco, but in a highly unusual situation, in order to adequately fund the medical care that he was doing at a considerable financial loss, he accepted a roll as an assassin of the worst of society’s dregs. The assassin was known as Gideon. When he was killed in the second book, Gideon Resurrection, Kelly, who had followed her father into a medical career and who placed her father on top of a tall pedestal for his humanitarian acts, knew nothing about his dark activities until she read his diary. Although aghast at what she learned about her father and then when she gained responsibility for the clinic’s survival, she eventually agreed to become the next Gideon. The contrast in roles of being a literal savior of the downtrodden on the streets of the Mission District, and a woman was also a killer who used the money she earned to pay the clinic’s bill, caused Kelly great emotional distress. In the third novel, Gideon Redemption, it becomes clear that stress of her two identities was tearing her emotionally apart.

If you check out my prior reviews of Mr. Rosenberg’s books, you’ll find that I literally raved about his writing and the characters that he skillfully developed. The third book is equally well written with regard to the evolution of Kelly and the associated characters. The three books together get my ultimate 5/5+ rating. He does a remarkable job tying together the plots and subplots in a most satisfying manner. 

I think this book was originally intended to be the last in the series, but I hope Mr. Rosenberg changes his mind about this. Kelly is such a compelling and intriguing character, I would be disappointed not to see where she might go from this point forward. Whatever he decides, if you’re a fan of murder mysteries, this three-book series should be on your bookshelves.
