When you need to get rid of a Presidential candidate, you need THE SILVER BEAR. Columbus, the most feared hitman in the criminal underworld, has killed many times using many weapons, including his bare hands. An assassin at the top of his profession, immune to pressure, gliding silently beneath the view of law enforcement, he is what the Russians call a Silver Bear. When Columbus takes the contract on a congressman running for President, he discovers that his quarry is tied to his own mysterious past. Soon, he's fighting to stay alive, and to make sure his target does not.

I found myself completely caught up with this character, and those around him, and I couldn't let go of the book until I knew the final outcome.' -- Book Club Forum 20080803
