Who are the hunters?
The hunters are a group of assassins sent by the CIA’s top asset’s ex-colleague. They are after him because he knows too many agency secrets. The Gray Man is a skilled operative, so the hunters will have their work cut out for them. But if anyone can outwit and outlast his pursuers, it’s him. A military veteran with more than twenty years’ experience in the field, he has become one of America’s most valuable assets in the war against terror. Highly trained in combat and intelligence gathering, adept in languages and computer skills, he is called upon whenever there’s an emergency to avert disaster or capture enemies who cannot be reached any other way.
His best friend? His girlfriend-turned-fiancé? They all seem like they’re keeping secrets of their own. Maybe Locke should take matters into his own hands… His fiancé has proven herself more than once to be untrustworthy, so when she tells him she found a safe place for them to hideout, Locke isn’t convinced.
He decides to make one last phone call – to the one person he thought he could always count on. When another assassin tracks them down while they were still talking, though, Locke realizes how hard it is going to be for him without backup. It’s time for him to return fire in kind – with bullets.
Are there any clues in A Bright and Guilty Place as to who betrayed Locke or why?
In A Bright and Guilty Place, there are several clues that suggest who betrayed Locke. First, the fact that his apartment was broken into and his computer was taken suggests that someone was looking for something. Second, Locke’s phone records show that he received a call from an unknown number shortly before he was killed. This suggests that someone may have tipped off his killer. Third, the fact that Locke was killed with a knife rather than a gun suggests that his killer knew him well enough to get close to him. fourth, the fact that his body was found in an alleyway suggests that he may have been lured there by his killer. fifth, the fact that there were no signs of struggle suggest that Locke may have known his killer. Finally, the fact that he wore gloves throughout the book implies that he was worried about being identified. These all point to one person: Anne-Marie Bertrand. She had motive, opportunity, and knowledge of Locke’s habits (he even described her as someone who is lurking outside my door).
