Sequel to Day and KnightDay and Knight: Book Two Dayton "Day" Ingram is recovering from an injury suffered in Mexico-and from his failed relationship with fellow Scorpion agent, Knight. While researching an old government document, Day realizes he might be holding the key to finding an artistic masterpiece lost since WWII. But the Russians are looking for it too, and have a team in place in Eastern Europe hunting it down. Day and Knight are brought back together when they are charged with getting to the painting first. Knight wants to leave Mexico and everything that happened there behind, and return to the life he had-except it wasn't much of a life. When he's partnered up with Day, keeping his distance proves to be challenging. But Day is as stubborn as Knight and isn't willing to let him walk away. Their assignment leads them through Germany and Austria with agents hot on their tail-agents willing to do whatever it takes to get to the masterpiece first. If Day and Knight can live long enough to find the painting, they might also discover something even more precious-each other. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Day has come a long way from “just” being a technical analyst. He is still very good at that part of his job, but after Mexico, he is finally beginning to get the recognition he wants for his ability to work in the field as well. Even Knight has to admit he is a good partner, what with all the tracking and solving pieces of the puzzle Day does as they race against the Russians, and that is saying something. The part Day struggles with is Knight's reluctance to get involved. He can understand Knight's reluctance to let go of his love for his deceased wife and son, but after two years, he thinks Knight should begin to let go. Sharing some intimate moments while in the field, only to fear facing the cold shoulder again once it’s over, is no way to live. Day being Day, he is not afraid to poke the bear, so to speak, and make Knight realize what he’s doing.
Knight is extremely uncomfortable around Day but doesn’t want to admit it’s because of the feelings Day makes him have. Knight is not willing to face them, thinks he is not entitled to any happiness, and still feels like a traitor every time he “forgets” his dead wife and son. At the same time he realizes that two years of watching the world from the bottom of a bottle is no way to live, so something will have to give. Add this to all the pressure of discovering where the lost paintings have been hidden, evading the Russian agents who are after them, and keeping Day safe, and I was amazed Knight held up as well as he did. In the end, it comes down to having the courage to face the truth, and since Knight is a Marine and not afraid of anything – or so he tells himself – there is hope for him.
If you like stories about men who are trying to avoid admitting they have feelings for each other, if you believe fieldwork and stress bring out the best in them, and if you’re looking for a suspenseful mystery around lost art and international politics, then you will probably like this novel as much as I did. Bring on the next story, Dirk Greyson!
