Gideon is a charismatic and perpetually broke con artist at the center of Eric Jerome Dickey’s vibrant, genre-bending romance novels. These stories, often set in 1920s and 30s Chicago, blend elements of historical fiction, mystery, and humor with a distinctly witty and fast-paced narrative style. Gideon’s schemes and romantic entanglements are fueled by a sharp intellect and a morally ambiguous approach to life.
