In Hiding Gideon Pike, famed Los Angeles detective Gideon Pike is engaged in a deadly and intrigued-filled game of cat and mouse with national drug king pin Jimmy O'Bannon. Already a celebrated Los Angeles detective, Gideon Pike attracts national attention by leading a police strike that destroys Jimmy O'Bannon's first attempt at unifying the nation's drug trade. This would have fulfilled O'Bannon's lifetime dream because he was certain that it would have elevated him to the position of Boss of Bosses in America's powerful crime world. Enraged because his dream is shattered, the half-mad West Coast crime kingpin vows to have Pike killed. His hitmen make three attempts. Each attempt comes closer. Fearing that O'Bannon's goons will sooner or later succeed, Chief of Detectives Timothy Delaney orders his prize investigator to hide out in America's remote Northern Plains until O'Bannon is captured. In following Delaney's orders, Pike discovers a small, idyllic South Dakota farm town. He meets Kate Coolridge who sought peace there from a troubled life in New York City. While waiting word from Delaney that O'Bannon is in custody, Gideon and Kate fall in love. Viggo Krocow, a renegade cop turned hitman, uses police methods and innocent Sylvia Gold's Internet talents to uncover Pike's hiding place. He follows him to Muskrat Town, South Dakota to make good O'Bannon's million-dollar contract.
