- Jocelyn McClurg @ jocelynmcc­lurg USA TODAY

On Tuesday, Eric Jerome Dickey fans can get all their questions answered as the USA TODAY Network sits down with the author to discuss his new book, Finding Gideon ( Dutton).

# BookmarkTh­is is a series of live video chats with best- selling authors. Finding Gideon ( on sale Tuesday) marks the return of one of Dickey’s most popular characters, the mysterious and sexy hit man Gideon. Fans have waited since 2009 — the year Resurrecti­ng Midnight was published — for Gideon’s comeback.

KILLER INSTINCT

In the new novel, readers find Gideon in Buenos Aires battling the internatio­nal mercenarie­s known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, one of whom may be his longlost and violent father.

Dickey has written more than 20 books starring African- American characters, from erotica to mysteries, including 2016’ s The Blackbirds, about the friendship of four women. The Blackbirds will be reissued in paperback the same day Finding Gideon is published. Dickey’s other best sellers include Sleeping With Strangers ( part of the Gideon series), Pleasure and Chasing Destiny. A comics fan, Dickey also wrote a sixissue miniseries of graphic novels featuring Storm ( XMen) and the Black Panther in 2006.
