Stimulating courses to teach, a decent stipend, all expenses paid, plenty of interesting European travel . . . What's not to like? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It does not take him long to find out. On his first night, he is forced to fend off two desperate, black-clad men who have invaded his Heidelberg hotel room with intent to kill. And then there are a few trivial details that the recruiting agency forgot to mention--such as the fact that the two previous holders of the fellowship both met with mysterious ends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From there, it is all downhill. Gideon finds himself the target in an unfamiliar game for which no one has bothered to give him the rules. What he does have is his own considerable intellect and his remarkable forensic skills. He will need them, for he is playing for some fairly high stakes: the security of Western Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fellowship of Fear \u003ci\u003eis the 1st book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Elkins is a former anthropologist and professor who has been writing mysteries and thrillers since 1982.
